Arcturus
One example of a star bigger than the sun is Betelgeuse, which is a red supergiant star in the constellation of Orion. Its size is estimated to be around 1,000 times larger than the sun. The largest known star is UY Scuti, with a diameter thought to be about 1,700 times that of the sun. Both stars are significantly larger than Earth.
Arcturus is cooler and more luminous than the Sun because it is a giant star, which means it has exhausted the hydrogen fuel in its core and expanded, causing its surface temperature to be lower than the Sun's but its overall size and brightness to be greater. This combination of lower temperature and larger size results in Arcturus being cooler and more luminous than the Sun.
Betelgeuse is much bigger than the Sun.
No, Aaron is not bigger than the sun. The sun is a massive star at the center of our solar system, while Aaron is a human being.
Oh, dude, Arcturus is a red giant star, like the cool grandpa of our Sun. It's so massive that you could fit over 1.6 billion suns inside it. So, yeah, it's basically playing in a whole different league.

Yes the sun is one of the stars bigger than earth so is Sirius,Pollux and Arcturus
Arcturus isn't too much more massive than the Sun - about 1.1 solar masses - but its radius is almost 26 times greater than the Sun, and its power output is much higher; almost 180 times greater.
Sirius,Pollux and Arcturus
bob sagans hamish kelsall its about 60,000 but the sun is 500,000,000
Arcturus has a mass estimated to be about 1.1 times the mass of our Sun, making it slightly more massive than the Sun.
Mira, thuban or Arcturus are some examples. Giants are around 10 to 100 times larger than our own sun (by diameter). Supergiants and hypergiants are bigger still.

No. There are billions of other stars in space. Our sun is the only star in our solar system, though. All the stars we see at night are from other galaxies. There are a lot of other stars way bigger than our sun like Arcturus.
1. It might be closer to us, 2. it might be a bigger and brighter star. Arcturus is 35 light years away and has an absolute magnitude of -0.3, which makes it 100 times brighter than the Sun, while Vega is 26 light years away and has an absolute magnitude of 0.5, about half as bright as Arcturus. From Earth they are both about the same brightness.
The Sun is a star, it is Much Bigger than the Earth. It's probably thousands of times bigger than the Earth. Planets orbit around the Sun. One of those solar flares that leap out from the Sun like a flame from a fire is much bigger than the Earth.
