They are all stars like our sun(a few are planets like Venus, Jupiter etc), and the majority of them are actually way bigger than our sun. Just super super far away.

here is an image of a different star.

The problem is, they are so far away it is hard to get the resolution we can get with the sun.

Another interesting point is that the sun is not a particularly big star. It is average, if even on the smaller size. A star like Betelgeuse, the red star in the shoulder of the constellation Orion, is so big that if it sat where our sun is, the Earth would be inside of it.

Besides the sun, the next closest star is 4.24 light years or 25 trillion miles away. Nearly all of the points of light you see in the night sky will be stars. The conservative estimate is that there are 100 Billion stars in the Milky Way alone. Depending on the time of year and your location, you might be able to see a few planets from our solar system. Planets outside our solar system are to dim to see with the naked eye.

Many light in sky.
Few planet like Venus, Jupiter. Most star.
Look at Sun, see Sun close. Look at star, no see far.
