No. The sun is part of the solar system, so it cannot be bigger than it. The mass of the sun is much larger than the mass of the rest of the objects in the solar system put together, which may be what you are referring to.

For a star it's average size. In comparison to the planets, it's larger than all of them combined. I guess how big it is depends on what you compare it to.
