Space is BIG - and we're REALLY tiny. I mean infinitesimally small. Inconceivably tiny.
The earth to the sun is like a speck of salt to a baseball. BUT - our sun to VY Canis Majoris (the largest known star) is like a flea on an elephant. Or maybe more like a piece of flea poop.
Yep - we're kinda little.
