The perspective is skewed, and he uses the Power Cosmic to create it. It settles in the sky, and it lights up the planet. Could you make a case against it? Sure, but the case for it is stronger than the case against it.
That said, calling Kyle 10 meters-across 'artificial sun,' "not an actual star," is not a nitpick.
And I'm not sure why Kyle is still brought up in every thread featuring the Surfer when he's not even part of the thread.
Anyway, the main point I'm making here is Supes and Surfer are comparable in speed, durability, and strength as far as quantifiable feats are concerned. You could argue that one has a better average than the other, but the showings are inconsistent and vague enough to where it's fair to just call them equals as far as those powers are concerned.
The issue is that those powers only make up a small fraction of Surfer's arsenal of powers. Matter transmutation, energy manipulation, lifeform manipulation, spacetime manipulation, foresight, telepathy, telekinesis, etc. and that's not even mentioning the fact that Supes has a plethora of weaknesses Surfer can abuse, while having no notable weaknesses himself. It's like putting Superman against the Flash, obviously Superman will win because he has more options.
