No. Sirius is actually two stars. The main body, Sirius A, is a fairly large star, larger than the sun, but it is nowhere near the size of a supergiant. Sirius B is a white dwarf, a small, dense remnant of a star that is, int his case, slightly smaller than Earth.
No. The diameter of Sirius A is about 1.7 times that of the sun. To be considered a supergiant a star must be at least 100 times the diameter of the sun.
Sirius and Betelgeuse are both bright stars in the night sky, but they differ in size, color, and temperature. Sirius is a white star, while Betelgeuse is a red supergiant. Betelgeuse is also much larger and cooler than Sirius.
No. The sun is a main sequence star.
Sirius is a binary star system consisting of two stars: Sirius A and Sirius B. Sirius A is the larger and more luminous star, with a diameter of about 1.7 times that of the Sun. Sirius B is a white dwarf star with a diameter of about 12,000 kilometers, roughly the size of Earth. The distance between the two stars is about 20 AU (astronomical units).
Sirius is located about 8.6 light years away from the Sun.

Sirius has a mass 0.978 that of the Sun, and a radius 0.0084 times that of the Sun. No, actually Sirius A has a mass of 2.2 that of the Sun and a radius 1.711 times that of the Sun.
No. The sun is a main sequence star far smaller than any supergiant.

Yes it is much bigger.Probably 5 suns can fit in sirius.Not only is sirius bigger but it is much hotter as well.
