Yes. Roughly 5% of the stars in ht Milky Way are larger than out sun, which works our to a total of about 10 billion stars. The sun only appears bigger than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other star.

It is impossible to work out exactly how many stars the Milky Way contains, part of the problem is that it is so far away; some of the stars we see in the night sky have already died and gone by the time their light reaches us. It is estimated however to contain 100 - 400 billion stars.
