Some stars are actually bigger than others, and some are closer to us, so appear bigger. The biggest star is UY Scuti, which is 1708 times bigger than the sun. It is 7800 light years away. The closest is Alpha Centauri, at 4.5 light years away. Note: nearly all stars are so far away that they still appear as just points of light, even in large telescopes. The angular size of some stars can be measured using "interferometry".
