Does the sun have more energy than other stars?

Answer 1

Not really. It's just an average star that happens to have a nice blue planet orbiting it.

The quantity of energy a star emits during the majority of its lifetime is correlated with its mass:

Greater compression in the star's core results in a hotter, denser core, which accelerates nuclear fusion and produces more energy. More mass also increases gravity.

Since the Sun is positioned roughly in the middle of the mass distribution, its energy output is also in the middle.

The Sun is an average-sized star, and there are many stars in the universe that have more energy output than the Sun.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
