Below are lists of the largest stars currently known, ordered by radius and separated into categories by galaxy. The unit of measurement used is the radius of the Sun (approximately 695,700 km ; 432,300 mi ).
There are several videos circulating showing a comparison of the largest stars. I like these kind of things, and I wanted to try one myself. Probably because...
Between small planets in the solar system and the biggest stars, the size difference is enormous, for example, the diameter of the star Betelgeuse is 141,863 times larger than the diameter of the Earth. This page shows pictures of some comparisons between the sizes planets and between stars.
Planets in our universe can get extremely big, but one thing that beats them is stars. In this video we compare the smallest, city-sized neutron stars to the largest solar system sized...
Size comparison of a hypothetical quasi-star/black hole star (diameter of ~10 billion kilometres or ~7,187 solar diameters, mass of 1000+ solar masses) and several known giant stars: Stephenson 2-18 (~2150 solar diameters), VY Canis Majoris (~1420 solar diameters, ~17 solar masses), Betelgeuse (~887 solar diameters, ~11.6 solar masses), the ...
This illustration compares the different masses of stars. The lightest-weight stars are red dwarfs. They can be as small as one-twelfth the mass of our Sun. The heaviest-weight stars are blue-white super giants. They may get as large as 150 solar masses. Our Sun is between the lightweight and heavyweight stars.
Stars come in a wide variety of sizes, from tiny red dwarfs that are only slightly larger than Jupiter, to massive supergiants that can be over a thousand times the size of our sun. The star size is determined by its mass, with more massive stars being larger and hotter than less massive stars.
Soon, the Sun is shown and compared to many of the brighter stars in our neighborhood of the Milky Way Galaxy. Finally, star sizes are shown in comparison with the Milky Way Galaxy, galaxies across the observable universe, and speculatively, regions of a potentially greater multiverse.
