Suns and stars are the same thing. To put it another way, our sun is a star. Some insist that the word 'sun' be used exclusively for our local star. Our sun is a very ordinary star; there are many stars in the Milky Way that positively dwarf our sun in size.

∙ 11y agoCurrently, the largest known star is believed to be NML Cygni at about 1,650 times the Sun's radius or 7.67 a.u. It is up to 40 times more massive than the sun and 270,000 times more luminous(bright). Some stars in the star cluster Westerlund 1 are believed to be even larger than NVM Cygni but have not been theorized yet.
The most massive star is believed to be R136a1, a Wolf-Rayet star, which is believed to be 265 times more massive and 8,700,000 times more luminous than the sun, which also makes it the most lumninous star known.

A Nutron star is a star at the end of its life, our Sun is just middle aged. However, our Sun will never become a Neutron star when it dies it will become a White Dwarf.
Neutron stars are typically about 20 km (12 miles) in diameter. Their masses range between 1.18 and 1.97 times that of the Sun, but most are 1.35 times that of the Sun.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt isn't about the size, it's the density. You could collapse any star into a neutron star if you squeeze hard enough, but smaller stars would have to be collapsed further than larger ones.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoNo. A neutron star has more mass than the sun, but it is compacted into an object the size of a large city, much smaller than the sun.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo. A neutron star has more mass than the sun, but is much smaller in actual size, roughly the size of a large city.

Which is bigger a star or a moon?
A star is MUCH larger than a moon.
Are stars bigger or the moon?
Stars are much much bigger than the moon. They only appear to be smaller because they are so far away as compared to the moon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A star is a gigantic celestial body of hot gas that radiates energy derived from thermonuclear reactions in the interior. The moon appears bigger because it is so much closer to us than the stars. The sun is also considered as a star.
Which star is bigger sun or Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is much bigger than the Sun.
Is the sun the smallest star compared to others?
No. But the sun is one of the smaller types of star called 'yellow dwarf''. There are smaller and bigger stars also.
Why is the sun the biggest planet in your Solar System?
beOur own Sun is not at all bigger or brighter than other stars- in terms of overall stellar magnitude, it actually ranks as quite small. It just seems bigger and brighter to us because we are much closer to it than we are to any of the others.Many stars in our galaxy are very much bigger than our own, but it doesn't seem like that to us because we are so much further away from them.
Is the sun bigger than all the other stars?
No. The sun is not the biggest star in the our galaxy. Some stars that we see at night that are located far far away from other stars. One of the largest known stars, NML Cygni, is 1,650 times bigger than the sun (by radius). Our sun is tiny, compared to the bigger stars. the largest star is a billion times the sun, and by the way, nml cygni is not one of the largest known stars, it IS the largest known star
Is the stars bigger than Mars?
ARE* the stars bigger than mars? To answer your question: Yes, much bigger. Since the Sun in our solar system is in itself a star and is much bigger than Mars, you can assume that all stars are bigger Mars. P.S. The Sun is considered a relatively small star compared to others in our Galaxy.
How big is a meteor compared to a star?
Meteors vary in size, but are never bigger than a star.
Why does the sun apaer bigger and hetter compared to other star?
It is closer to Earth.
Why does the sun look so much bigger then the other stars?
Because it is a LOT closer than any other star. 93,000,000 million miles compared to 24,689,699,200,000 to our NEAREST star.
How much bigger is Jupiter compared to stars?
It's smaller. The Sun is almost 10 times the size of Jupiter, and it's not considered a large star.
Why is the sun the largest star in the galaxy?
It isn't. It just looks bigger because it is much closer. The sun is about 260,000 times closer to earth than the next nearest star.
Is the Sun the largest star in the sky?
VY Canis Majoris, is the the largest known star. About 2.7 billion km, compared to our sun, at about 1.4 million km.
What is bigger a star or meteor?
A star is much bigger. A meteor can be as small as a piece of dust. Stars are huge.
Are stars bigger or the moon?

A star is MUCH larger than a moon.
What is the size of Sun as compared to other stars of Milky way?
The Sun is nothing but a microscopic object compared to the largest star in our Milky Way.
