If the sun is a medium sized star, why does it look bigger than others?

Answer:

However, compared to other stars, our Sun is only a medium-sized star, meaning that some stars are much larger than the Sun and some are much smaller. The Sun looks bigger than other stars because it is so much closer to the Earth. The further away an object is, the smaller it appears, even if it is very big.
