The answer is both.
Most celestial objects will be stars. However if you look through a telescope, you will see galaxies (eg M31, Andromeda). Hell, you can see the greater magellanic cloud with the naked eye and it is a galaxy.
The answer really depends on what you are looking at.

Simple answer is Yes, most of the objects that are observable with the naked eye are suns. Our sun also known as Sol is in fact a star. So you are correct. There are also some other objects that can be seen such as nebulae and star clusters. Also highly visible are the planets within our solar system. The brightest of which is Venus. The easiest way to tell if you are looking at a planet rather than a star is the planet will not twinkle like a star. A planet is just reflected light, and due to atmospheric conditions will be just a point of light.
Cheers :-)

Mostly they are suns, stars like our Sun, but many different sizes and distances. You can see only one galaxy with your naked eye, M31 in Andromeda, but many more with binoculars and telescopes, if you know where to look. Some of the brighter objects in the sky are planets, which shine by light reflected from our Sun. Currently in the morning sky you can see three bright planets: Venus, Mars, and Saturn.

They are like our sun, just farther away, and they might be bigger or smaller than our sun.

balls of gas, which could be anything really, it just emits light to us, most probably they are stars
