As a nebula is an extremely vast region of space comprised of hydrogen & helium gas, dust and other gases and plasmas, it would be fair to say that they are many, many times larger than even the largest star.

Nebulae are often referred to as 'stellar nurseries' as these tend to be regions in which many stars are formed.
