The smallest main sequence star detected so far is called OGLE-TR-122b.
It has a radius of 0.12 that of our Sun which means it is only 20% larger than Jupiter and has a mass of about 100 times that.
Astronomers describe the smallest star as a "core burning star," like our Sun. But prevailing theory never anticipated such a diminutive star, since the standard fusion model of stars required a minimum gravitating mass considerably greater than that of Jupiter.
The smallest non main sequence star is a neutron star with a diameter of 12km - equal to about the length of Manhattan Island from the tip till the end of Central park.

Our Sun is just an average star. Not too big and not too small. It's just right, which is why we are here.

OTS 44 a brown dwarf 550 light years away in the constellation Chamaeleon. It has a mass of 0.013 solar masses, about 15 times that of Jupiter, or about 1.5 % that of the Sun. Its radius is about 20% of the Sun.

the smallest stars around are the tiny red drawfs.these are the stars with 50% the mass of the sun & smaller
No. The sun is in the 5% most massive stars in the galaxy.
The smallest known star right now is: OGLE-TR-122b
It's solar radii is only 0.12. This works out to be 167,000 km. 167,000 km works out to be 20% larger than Jupiter.
No. The sun is actually larger than most stars, though it is within normal bounds.
Probally a white dwarf.
a small star
No. The sun is larger than about 95% of stars.
No. But the sun is one of the smaller types of star called 'yellow dwarf''. There are smaller and bigger stars also.
They are called Core Burning Stars the smallest one is OGLE-TR-122b.
If your saying another sun, say in our own local solar system, no. But around us are all suns in the night,the stars.
No. While the sun is larger than the average star it is nothing extraordinary. Many stars are far larger than the sun.
No. The sun is in the 5% most massive stars in the galaxy.
Smallest or largest, there is only one star in our Solar System - The Sun.
No. The sun is larger than about 95% of stars.
No. But the sun is one of the smaller types of star called 'yellow dwarf''. There are smaller and bigger stars also.
They are called Core Burning Stars the smallest one is OGLE-TR-122b.
No. The sun is actually larger than most stars, though it is within normal bounds.
No. The sun is actually in the top 5% of stars in terms of size.
The smallest star is ogletr122b the middle stars are the sun, sirius and rigel there are many stars, but these are some of them. the biggest star is vpceresmajors If the sun was replaced by the largest star earth woud be too hot and dry and life could not exist here. the smallest star is slightly smaller than Jupiter!
The sun is larger than some stars but smaller than others. The smallest stars, not counting collapsed remnants, are about a tenth the diameter of the sun. The largest are more than 1,000 times the sun's diameter.
i think it's giants . in my own opinion
No. The sun is one star.
Yes. The sun is one of many stars, and there are even larger stars than the sun. Our sun is just an average star.
