Best Answer

The Sun is a rather average star.

VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star, it is between between 3600 and 4200 times as wide as the sun - it would stretch out almost to the orbit of Saturn.

OGLE-TR-122b is the smallest star known and in width it is only a little larger than the planet Jupiter.
