What would the sun look like from Pluto?

Since Pluto is so far away from the sun (at a average distance of 3,670,050,000 miles), the sun would look much dimmer and smaller that it does from here on Earth. From Pluto, the sun would look like a very bright star and would light up Pluto during the day about as much as the full moon lights up Earth at night.
