Sun is very big. It looks much smaller because it’s very far.
In reality if we diminish Earth to the size of a grain of sugar (you can take anything that 1 mm in diameter – a small stone or a crumb of bread) then Sun is gonna be this big (show anything that 10 cm in diameter – ball for example).
Then put a 10 cm ball on the ground and make 5 big steps – 5 meters – and put a grain of sugar on the ground. And say – this is Mercury – the nearest planet to the Sun.
