In fact, what we call "sky" is our atmosphere whose blue colour is due to the concentration of gases, mainly oxygen of course, and the blue colour is due to the wavelenght that oxygen lets the sunlight to cross. Suppose that the atmosphere was invisible, clear, not blue. Stars and planets would have the same distance. Some are very near to us, relatively to our galaxy, the Milky Way. But other stars and planets in our galaxy or even more distant ones are very far away from our planet. Some stars that you are watching at night may not exist anymore, and what you see is only its light still travelling onto space due to the huge distance they were before they turned into a dwarf star and ceased to glow.

They are the same thing. A sun is right here, while a star is VERY far away. But if we could build - WHEN we CAN build! - interstellar spacecraft, we will take off from the Earth, and we'll see our Sun nearby. When we get there, we will find a new sun in the sky - and our Sun will be a tiny star, far away!

How can a star give off the most light and not be the brightest in the sky?
How bright a star appears depends on both its actual brightness and how far away it is. The farther away a star is, the dimmer it appears. A bright but very distant star many therefore appear dimmer than a less bright star that is closer to us.
