The best way to describe the Sun in comparison to other stars is as a "medium-sized, middle-aged, main-sequence star." Specifically, it is classified as a G-type main-sequence star (G dwarf), which means it is a yellow star that primarily fuses hydrogen into helium in its core.
In terms of size and brightness, the Sun is relatively average; it is larger and more luminous than 90% of the stars in our galaxy, which are red dwarfs, but it is smaller and less bright than many of the more massive stars, such as giants and supergiants. Its temperature, about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit) on the surface, is also typical for a G-type star.
Furthermore, the Sun is approximately 4.6 billion years old, which is typical for stars of its type that have lifespans of around 10 billion years. Therefore, in the vast diversity of the universe, the Sun occupies a relatively ordinary position among the myriad stars in terms of size, brightness, and age.
