Star that is bigger than the sun and the earth?

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.


How can Arcturus be cooler and more luminous than the Sun?

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.


Is the sun the only star in space?

Why Vega is brighter than 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.
