Best Answer

VY Canis Majoris [See Link] has the largest diameter of any known star, 1800 to 2100 times that of the Sun. This gives it a similar diameter to the orbit of Saturn.

It is classed as a red super-giant , high luminosity M star as per the stellar classification [See Link] putting it at the upper right hand corner of the Hertzsprung--Russell diagram [See Link]
