    Sure. That’s how I understand the English Wikipedia. There are other types of stars in my native tongue at least. But as far as I understand, they are the same in English.

    So give me your counter example

      Not quite. The sun is a particular star. Specifically ours. Like how Polaris Aa/Ab/B (collectively the north or pole star) are the three stars at the center of their system.

        Eh, Sun usually means the local star, while Earth’s Sun in particular is named Sol.
