Generally speaking yes. The largest asteroid is probably Ceres with a radius of about 490 kilometers. A "normal" star like our Sun has a radius of around 696 million kilometers. while some stars are 200 times as large as our Sun. However, there are certain stars that are smaller than Ceres. A typical neutron star has a radius of only 12 kilometers, and a small back hole can have a radius of only 30 kilometers.

A micro black hole (hypothetical in existence will only have a radius of about 0.1 mm!!!!

In the Solar System nothing is bigger than the Sun. The Sun is 865,000 miles across, the next biggest is Jupiter at 88,000 miles, the Earth at 8000 miles, and the asteroids are 800 miles across at the most.

The mass of the sun is about 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system. That means if you put together all of the planets, all of the dwarf planets, all of the asteroids, all of the comets, all of the Kuiper Belt objects, all of the moons, and all other matter in our solar system, the sun would still be about 713 times "bigger".
