The red hyper giant W Cephia A
Size, mass and luminosity estimates are all considerably uncertain due to insufficient knowledge of the Cephei star system: Professor Kaler writes "in truth we really do not know". Its distance cannot be measured from parallax, instead it is derived from its assumed membership in the Cepheus OB2 association, but this is also not certain. Other methods give a range of sizes between 1000 and 2200 that of the Sun, but these too are confounded by the fact that the star is not spherical, which leads to overestimates.
It doesn't. VV Cephei is the second biggest star we know after VY Canis Majoris. VV Cephei is estimated to be 2600 times bigger than the Sun, so it is not possible for it to orbit the sun.
big
VV Cephei is 1900 times the size of the sun.VV Cephei is 2,644,762,000 (Trillion) KM in diameter.or2,644,762,000,000 (quadrillion) metersyeah. big
in the universe
VY Canis Majoris is probably bigger. VV Cephei A is between 800 and 950 times the diameter of our sun. VY Canis Majoris is 900 to 1050 times the diameter of our sun. As you can see, there is some overlap in the numbers, so it is possible VV Cephei A is actually the larger star, though more likely VY Canis Majoris is the biggest.Also if u see a video of biggest star it is shown that VV cephei A is actually smaller than Vy canis majoris

VV cephei is not a planet but a star.

The Sun is the largest object in our solar system, but in comparison to other stars, no - our Sun is a relatively small star. There are countless stars that are far larger. Look into Betelgeuse, Mu Cephei, VV Cephei A, and VY Canis Majoris - to name a few.

about 6 billion years old
The largest star known is a red hypergiant called VY Canis Majoris which is around 1800 to 2100 times the diameter of our own sun and would almost reach the orbit of Saturn if at the centre of our own solar system.
The five largest known red supergiants in the Galaxy are VY Canis Majoris, VV Cephei A, V354 Cephei, RW Cephei and KW Sagittarii.
