Both are stars. Other than that, not much: R136a1 is a Wolf-Rayet star, and is both the most massive and the most luminous star known, making it quite different to our Sun. Its large mass (and corresponding high energy output) also make it relatively short-lived.

What would happen if the sun was replaced by R136a1?
R136a1's heat would probably vaporize all of the planets.
What is bigger R136a1or VY Canis Majoris?
As far as mass goes, R136a1 beats out VY Canis Majoris by 253 solar masses (265 solar masses for R136a1 vs Canis Majoris' 30). However, VY Canis Majoris beats out R136a1 in radius by about 1,385 solar radii (Canis Majoris is 1,420 solar radii vs R136a1's ~35).
Which star is more powerful R136a1 or VY Canis Majoris?
R136a1 is the brightest known star. VY Canis Majoris. Its bolometric luminosity is estimated at 8.7 million times that of our Sun. VY Canis Majoris has a bolometric luminosity estimated at 450,000 that of the Sun, which is still very powerful. Bolometric luminosity refers to the entire radiation emitted at all wavelengths (not only visible light), so it is a measure of the power emitted by the star.
Most stars are what kind of stars?
Red Dwarf stars. Massive stars are also quite common, but stars like that (e.g. R136a1) don't last very long.
How hot is the center of r136a1?
The surface temperature is believed to be approximately 53,000 Kelvin.
What would happen if the sun was replaced by R136a1?
R136a1's heat would probably vaporize all of the planets.
How hot is r136a1?

How large is R136a1?
R136a1 is the biggest star known to the mankind.It is 320 times bigger than our sun and is of blue colour.
Which star is more luminous R136a1 or VY Canis Majoris?
R136a1 is the most luminous at about 8,700,000 times more than the Sun. VY Canis Majoris is only 450,000 times more luminous than our Sun.
Is R136a1 zeta tauri?
