The largest star known is a red hypergiant called VY Canis Majoris which is around 1800 to 2100 times the diameter of our own sun and would almost reach the orbit of Saturn if at the centre of our own solar system.
Yes. Even the smallest star is many times larger than Earth. Earth is a bit more than 12,000 kilometers across. A red giant star is far larger with a diameter of 20 to 100 million kilometers (20,000,000 to 100,000,000).
Betelgeuse is bigger than Aldebaran. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star, while Aldebaran is an orange giant star. Betelgeuse is one of the largest stars known, with a diameter around 1,000 times larger than the Sun.
Yes because the Sun is not a giant so all giants are bigger than the Sun.
A red giant can be hundreds to thousands of times larger in diameter than our Sun. This expansion occurs as a star exhausts its core hydrogen fuel and starts to burn helium in its outer layers, causing it to swell and become a red giant.
A Red Giant Stars that are much bigger than the sun are the giants and of course the super giants, which are the stars with the biggest size. If you want a specific one, Betelgeuse or Antares would be good choices.
A giant star is smaller than the sun.
the gamma star is about 4000 times bigger than the sun
Antares
Not really. Its mass is 1.8 times that of the Sun, which is a mid-sized star. So while Altair is bigger than the Sun, it is not in the same category as Betelgeuse as an example of a giant star.
No. The sun is larger than the average star, but nothing extraordinary. There are stars many times larger than the sun. The sun only appears bigger than any other star because it is much closer to us.
A Red Giant is the name at millions or billions times the size
Many stars are bigger, but Betelgeuse is one of them, a red giant.
Just once.
Yes. Even the smallest star is many times larger than Earth. Earth is a bit more than 12,000 kilometers across. A red giant star is far larger with a diameter of 20 to 100 million kilometers (20,000,000 to 100,000,000).
Many stars are bigger, but Betelgeuse is one of them, a red giant.
The sun is a star itself. The sun is actually a very small star. There are stars that are WAY bigger then the sun.Like the VY Canis majoris star. The sun is invisible compared to that super giant star.
Betelgeuse is bigger than Aldebaran. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star, while Aldebaran is an orange giant star. Betelgeuse is one of the largest stars known, with a diameter around 1,000 times larger than the Sun.
