Antares is bigger than V382 Carinae. but they are very close in size. V382 Carinae has a radius of 747 solar radii but Antares is 822 solar radii.
No, Antares is bigger than Betelgeuse. Antares is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 700 times that of the Sun, while Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 600 times that of the Sun.
no.Not even close.Antares is over 20x bigger then the sun.The sun is nothing compared to this star.But not even the antares star is big. The biggest star in the galaxy is called the vy canis majoris. The canis majoris makes antares look like it is invisible!
Rigel: 71 solar radiiAntares: 883 solar radii.So Antares is over twelve times larger than Rigel.See related link for a pictorial of the difference (Section 5).
Hypergiants are super luminous supergiants. It isn't all about sheer size. Eta Carinae is a hypergiant but it is smaller than the supergiant Antares. This is due to the fact that Eta Carinae is about 60 times as luminous as Antares and 10 times as massive. Although size doesn't matter, the largest star VY Canis Majoris is a Hypergiant.
Barnard's Star and Antares are both red dwarf stars. However, Antares is a red supergiant star that is much larger and brighter than Barnard's Star. Both are part of the Milky Way galaxy and can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
antares is much bigger than the sun, it is like a basketball comparing to a dot of rice

Antares is around 700 times larger in diameter than Earth. This means that if you were to place Antares in our solar system where the Sun is, it would engulf the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

Antares
Barnard's Star and Antares are both red dwarf stars. However, Antares is a red supergiant star that is much larger and brighter than Barnard's Star. Both are part of the Milky Way galaxy and can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
Antares is a red super giant. It is approximately 800 times larger than our Sun. If our Sun was replaced by Antares, it would reach out beyond the orbit of Mars. Around 512 million Suns could fit inside Antares. See link for a pictorial representation
Sirius is considerably hotter than Antares.
Perhaps Antares has its own solar system.
