Depending on the classification of a star to include stellar remnants. Sizes are approximate and are for comparison purposes only .

  • Black hole = 0.
  • Neutron Star = A city
  • White Dwarf = The Earth
  • Black Dwarf = The Earth
  • Brown Dwarf = About the same size as Jupiter.
  • Red Dwarf = About 2 times the size of the Earth up to 1/2 the Sun
  • Yellow Dwarf = Our Sun
  • Blue giant = Twice the size of the Sun
  • Red Giant = Ten to a hundred times larger than our Sun
  • Red Supergiant = 200 to 800 times larger than our Sun

Diameters of stars vary between a fraction of that of the Sun (for red dwarves) to several hundred times the Sun's diameter (for red giants). The lower end is even less for stars that have finished their fuels, such as white dwarves (about 1/100 the diameter of the Sun), neutron stars (20 or 30 km) and black holes.
