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 star
- Betelgeuse - closest candidate for a supernova
- Polaris - current North Star
- Zetta Puppis - cos I like the name
- Sirius - The dog star
- Pistol Star - The most luminous.
See related link for a list of massive stars.

Its density is very low, so its not the most massive, but it has the largest diameter, around 1800 to 2100 solar radii (its radius is 1800-2100 times larger than our suns). If it were in the centre of our solar system its edges would almost reach the orbit of Saturn.
