    Theoretical limit of star size (Large Magellanic Cloud) ≳1,550 [11] L/T eff: Estimated by measuring the fraction of red supergiants at higher luminosities in a large sample of stars. Assumes an effective temperature of 3,545 K. Reported for reference: HV 888 1,477 [108] –1,584 [109] Large Magellanic Cloud L/T eff: HD 269551 A 1,439 [110 ...

    It is over 100,000 times less dense than Earth's atmosphere at sea level (1.2 kg/m 3). In 2012, the size was calculated more accurately to be somewhat lower, for example 1,420 R ☉, [3] which leaves larger sizes published and in-date for other galactic and extragalactic red supergiants (and hypergiants) such as Westerlund 1 W26 and WOH G64.

    Size comparison of the event horizons of the black holes of TON 618 and Phoenix A.The orbit of Neptune (white oval) is included for comparison. As a quasar, TON 618 is believed to be the active galactic nucleus at the center of a galaxy, the engine of which is a supermassive black hole feeding on intensely hot gas and matter in an accretion disc.

  8. Solar radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radius

    Evolution of the solar luminosity, radius and effective temperature compared to the present-day Sun. After Ribas (2009) [3] The uncrewed SOHO spacecraft was used to measure the radius of the Sun by timing transits of Mercury across the surface during 2003 and 2006. The result was a measured radius of 696,342 ± 65 kilometres (432,687 ± 40 miles).
