What do stars really look like in space?
Well it depends on your relative position to them. If you were up close like here on earth it would look like the sun. Some would be bigger or smaller depending on the size; our sun is a medium size star. They could also have different colors too red, orange, white, gray, yellow, green or blue depending on the temperature. Blue being the hottest and red the coolest. Now if they are far well you all know what they look like just as we see them in the sky. As in size there are two ways to think about the size of the earth with respect to the sun. First way, the Sun’s diameter is about 100 times that of the Earth. So, you’d have to line up 100 Earth’s end-to-end to stretch across the face of the sun. Or you can think about it this way. If the sun was a bowl, you would need 100x100x100 = 1,000,000 Earth to fill it. here is a closeup or what ours looks like up really close. http://www.leonardo-energy.
