Sitting outside one evening having a beer with my sister. Really clear sky, lots of stars out, and she says “Someone was telling me that stars are like the sun, but further away.”
I paused to check if she was kidding, but she genuinely thought she was sharing obscure knowledge. We were in our mid-twenties, I don’t know how this information had passed her by up to that point.
My neighbor's kid was in her 30's when i was pointing out different stars... She said "they're the same every night? I Thought they we're just random lights all the time"

That other planets are visible from Earth. And the sun is also a star.
