Polaris, the North Star or pole star, is a very bright super giant that is orbited by four companion stars. While the system is 434 light years (2.549e+15 miles) from Earth, the combination of the very large, bright primary star with the orbiting companions makes Polaris seem very bright in the northern sky, and brightness appears large in the night sky.

thats not true. they can grow as small as a pease of sand and as big as a bolder.

What effect do planets have on the stars they orbit?
The gravity of the star is usually many times larger than the planets due to the overwhelming mass of the star in comparison. The planets do have a gravitational pull of their own though, which has an effect on the star it is orbiting. It will cause the star to move slightly off centre as it pulls on the star during its orbit. The bigger the planet, the bigger the pull. By looking at distance stars, astronomers can see the effects of planets by observing a 'wobble' in the star as the unseen planets orbits it. They can then calculate the size of the planet and distance by the size and speed of the wobble.
