The biggest star that you had found?
VY Canis Majoris. It's a huge star! Here's some facts about it: -Vy Canis Majoris is located in the constellation Canis Major -In diameter it is 3,063,500,000,000m, and it is 2,000 times bigger than the sun -If you were to stick Vy Canis Majoris out into the middle of our solar system, it would reach the probably over the orbit of Saturn Awesome question by the way! Maybe there are bigger stars, scientists haven't found any bigger than that, but keep your eyes open, you might actually discover something! :)
How big is canus majoris compared to earth?
Canis Majoris is a red supergiant star that is one of the largest known stars in the universe. It is estimated to be about 1,000 times larger than the Sun in terms of volume, which means it is much larger than Earth. A single pixel representing Canis Majoris in an image of the Solar System would not even be visible when compared to Earth.
What would happen if the sun was replaced by VY Canis Majoris?
It would swallow Earth. From Wikipedia: "Placed at the centre of our solar system, VY Canis Majoris's surface would extend beyond the orbit of Saturn, although the astrophysicists Philip Massey, Emily Levesque and Bertrand Plez disagree about the star's stated radius, suggesting it is smaller: merely 600 times the size of the Sun, extending past the orbit of Mars."
What is the biggest star found so far?
The largest star discovered so far is the UY Scuti red supergiant. It is approximately 1,708 solar radii, where one solar radii equals the radius of the Sun in our solar system.
What are the stars bigger than the Sun?
Our Sun is a medium sized star, there are millions of stars bigger than our own Sun.Suitable candidates are:VY Canis Majoris - Largest known starBetelgeuse - closest candidate for a supernovaPolaris - current North StarZetta Puppis - cos I like the nameSirius - The dog starPistol Star - The most luminous.See related link for a list of massive stars.
What is bigger R136a1or VY Canis Majoris?
As far as mass goes, R136a1 beats out VY Canis Majoris by 253 solar masses (265 solar masses for R136a1 vs Canis Majoris' 30). However, VY Canis Majoris beats out R136a1 in radius by about 1,385 solar radii (Canis Majoris is 1,420 solar radii vs R136a1's ~35).

How big do stars get?
VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star with a radius equal to 2600 solar radii. It would take over 7,000,000,000,000,000 (7 quadrillion) Earths to fill the volume of VY Canis Majoris

What is the largest star in your solar system?
The Sun.However, if you're talking about the largest star we know of, VY Canis-Majoris is the largest star DISCOVERED. It isn't, however, in the Solar system; it's located roughly 1500 parsecs away.
Is there a black hole bigger then VY Canis Majoris?
Yes. VY Canis Majoris is about 4 billion kilometers across. This is comparable to the diameter of the event horizon of a 1.3 billion solar mass black hole. Black holes much larger than this have been detected in the centers of distant galaxies.
How big would the star VY Canis Majoris look like in the sky if it replaced the Sun in your solar system?
It wouldn't exactly "look like" - it would engulf the Earth; that is, we would be INSIDE the star.
How far away is Canis Major Dwarf in light years?
VY Canis Majoris has a radius about 2,100 times that of the Sun. This means that about 9 billion Suns could fit inside it. See related link for a picture of the difference in size.
