Pretty much, yes, but not every star is just like our sun. Some are larger and hotter, and others are smaller and not as hot.
Some stars are so huge they would extend out and swallow Earth if they were put in place of our sun.

Yes, other stars outside our solar system can also be called suns, some even call them "distant suns". Because, although, they are not as near to us as our sun, they are still balls of hot, luminous gases like our sun.

bypass and sin no extra my son (or daughter). ok, the image voltaic gadget volume is about a sphere of about 10-12 billion mile diameter. The sunlight with diameter of virtually a million million miles is on the middle. The 8 significant planets of the image voltaic gadget, their satellites and the asteroids lies in a airplane that contains an magnificent circle of the sunlight's sphere. Pluto and distinct the weird and wonderful new gadgets got here across obtainable orbit in planes that are diverse from airplane of the image voltaic gadget. Comets wander round all around the field, as do a touch different gadgets. There are not the different stars interior of this image voltaic gadget. the nearest stars are contained in the constellation Centuri, it truly is seen contained in the Southern Hemisphere. those stars are about 24 trillion miles away. So, for stars that are about the dimensions and brightness of the sunlight, which the brightest movie star in that constellation appears, look to us as they do because they're 240,000 cases extra away it truly is the sunlight. the biggest planet contained in the image voltaic gadget, Jupiter, is seen a "failed movie star" because it not in any respect amassed adequate hydrogen textile even as it become shaped to commence a relentless fusion-power procedure as does the sunlight. If it had, it will be about 4 cases higher than that is now, and far brighter than that is now, probable the brightness of the completed moon. it would likely be seen as a impressive merchandise about a million/12 the diameter of the moon contained in the day-sky in accordance with its relative position with the sunlight. also, if it had, the image voltaic gadget we would have would likely be diverse from the present version.
