How big are most stars?

Most stars in the universe are similar in size to our Sun, which has a radius of about 432,168.6 miles (696,342 kilometers). These stars are classified as main-sequence stars and fall within a range of sizes referred to as G-type stars. However, there is a wide variety of sizes among stars, from tiny red dwarfs to massive supergiants.

Stars can range in size from tiny neutron stars that are only a few kilometers in diameter to supergiant stars that can be hundreds of times larger than our sun. The smallest stars are about 80 times the mass of Jupiter, while the largest stars can have masses that are over 100 times that of our sun.


Why the suns outshine the other stars?

It is closer to us than the other stars so we get a much, much larger fraction of its light compared to other stars. The other stars are so far away that even stars that are much brighter than our sun can only transmit such a small fraction of their light that the tiny fraction we get is consequently much less than the larger fraction of our somewhat dimmer sun.
