thats a star, our star is called sun
- rspoerri 4y agothat might need some correction... Wikipedia states: The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. According to some articles on the web, other stars can be suns as well, if they contain a planetary system. In common language however "the sun" is typically our star. "a sun" might be other stars as well. I think most people dont understand and think about the difference and thus think a star is a sun.
