How does our sun differ from most other main sequence stars?

The main differences huh? I guess the most important difference between our Sun and other stars is that the Sun is closer to Earth than any other star. The other possible differences are mass, size, temperature, and age. The Sun is a pretty small star as compared with the giants in the Universe. Only about one out of one hundred stars are more than eight times as massive as our Sun. The largest star, Mu Cephei is so large you could fit over one billion of our Suns inside of it! Most stars, about nine out of ten, are less massive than the Sun. The smallest are only about three times as big as Earth. About one out of ten stars are similar in mass to our Sun. The temperature of a star can be figured out by what color it is. Stars which are cooler than our Sun are red and orange. Stars hotter than ours are white, or blue-white. Our Sun is a middle-aged star, about five billion years old. As stars age they change in size, temperature, and can even lose mass. Stars are classified on the Hertzsprun Russel diagram on which our Sun is classified as a main sequence star.
