Obviously.

But most people don't equate our giant bright light with orbiting planets as an equal to those itty bitty lights they see at night.

I'm suggesting if the everyday man routinely had the mindset that each star they see is like our sun (& vice versa), it'd be more helpful in comprehending the universe's mysteries.
