Yes.
Our sun is in physical size considerably "smaller" than a great many stars. In most physics it is actually used as a measuring tool for other stars. That a star is 26 solar masses it means it's total mass is 26 times that of the sun.
Although too complex to explain here, a star with a different number of solar masses undergoes a different life-cycle than the one expected of our star, which is in it's main sequence.
The heaviest known star is
= HDE 269810 = The largest know star (space occupation) is:
= VV Cephei = But while the first one has a mass of up to 190 times the mass of the sun, the second one has only 20 times the mass. It's just a different density.
Our sun will most likely go from here to a red giant > White Dwarf, whereas the first star may go through many degenerative states and will probably cause a large supernova (Or hypernova dependent on scale) and then (theoretically) create a black hole.
The smallest known star
= AB Doradus = Which is a star in a system of 3, and has only 0.089 times the mass of the sun.
In answer, our star is a relatively small star.

∙ 8y agoAll stars are bigger than the moon. Much bigger in fact. Stars only appear small because of their distance from us. The stars are in fact suns, some bigger and brighter than our sun. This gives an idea of how far away they are.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes, the sun is an average sized star. That means that there are stars larger and smaller than our sun.

∙ 14y agoYes. The Sun is an average sized star. It only appears to be relatively big when observed from Earth because it is so close to the Earth.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoAbsolutely, there is Sirius, Pollux, Arcturus, Rigel, Aldebaran, Betelgeuse, and Antares.

∙ 8y agoNo. The sun is the only star and the largest object in the solar system.

How many stars are there in our solar system?
Our sun is actually a small star, tons of stars are way bigger than our sun. One. Each star is a sun.
Is canis majoris bigger than the solar ststem?
Canis Majoris is a constellation. VY Canis Majoris, the largest known star would fill the Solar System to the orbit of Saturn but would NOT fill the Solar System.
What is bigger a Nebula or the solar system?
the universe is bigger than a solar system. Obviouisly, because there are many solar systems in our galexy, and many galexies in our universe, there may be more that one universe contained in what I choose to call 'Infinity'.
Can an asteroid be bigger than Jupiter?
No. Asteroids are smaller than even the smallest planets. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. The only object in the solar system larger than Jupiter is the sun.
Which is bigger solar system or Milky Way?
The Milky Way galaxy is significantly bigger than our solar system. Using the Oort Cloud as a marker to signify the outer edges, our solar system has a diameter of about 3.2 light years (or 200,000 AU). In comparison, the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years across, which makes it 31,250 times bigger than our solar system.
Is the sun bigger than solar system?
Our sun is not bigger than the solar system. The sun is a star, and it contains over 99.9% of the mass of the solar system, but the solar system is much bigger than the sun.
What is bigger than an asteroid?
lots of things are bigger than a astriod ,planets, somtimes a moon, and the biggest star in are solar system.
Is there any star bigger than star?
that question doesn't make sense. there are star that are one billion times bigger than our on solar system star, how ever bigger stars live a shorter life than smaller stars!
Is the earths moon bigger than the sun?
No! The Sun is the biggest star and thing in our solar system
What is bigger moon solar system meteorite comet star galaxy universe?
Obviously, the Universe is the biggest of that lot. Next biggest is "galaxy", then solar system, then star, then moon. A comet is usually bigger than a meteorite, but not always.
Is earth bigger than the solar system?
The solar system is much larger than the earth. I mean most planets are bigger than earth, that are in the solar system
IS Jupiter bigger than the solar system?
Erm, no. Sorry. The Sun is 99% of the solar system, in mass. So, judging from that, all the planets that orbit it are in teh solar system. And nothing is bigger than our solar system! (except for mabye another solar system, or like a galaxy, or like a really big star, or a super amazing planet, or lik.. Nevermind.)
How many stars are there in our solar system?
Our sun is actually a small star, tons of stars are way bigger than our sun. One. Each star is a sun.
What is bigger solar system or outer space?
Outer space is much bigger than the solar system.
What is a light source larger than the solar system?
Some stars are bigger than our galaxy, so probably a star somewhere.
Is there more than 1 star in the solar system?
No. The sun is the only star in the solar system.
What is bigger the solar system or the sun?
The solar system includes the sun and all things orbiting it, so naturally the solar system is bigger than the sun.
