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."

How big is the Sun compared to VY Canis Majoris?
VY Canis Majoris (VY CMa) is the largest known star and also one of the most luminous.It has a radius of around1,800 -> 2,100 times that of our Sun. If the Sun was replaced by VY Canis Majoris, it's outer envelope would extend beyond Saturn.See related link for a pictorial.
Is canis majoris bigger than the solar ststem?
Canis Majoris is a constellation. VY Canis Majoris, the largest known star would fill the Solar System to the orbit of Saturn but would NOT fill the Solar System.
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 is the biggest star VY canis majoris or NML cygni?
Neither of them! The VY Canis Majoris is indeed bigger, but it isn't the biggest star in the Universe. The XZ Majoris Ceiphei is almost as big as the smallest Nebula, and it would take 10,000 years to orbit it in a passenger airplane. It is the biggest star in the Universe. So indeed the XZ Majoris Ceiphei is bigger than either the VY Canis Majoris or the NML Cygni. Comments: Estimating the sizes of these big stars is not easy and there are different answers in different places. For example, Wikipedia now gives NML Cygni as bigger than VY Canis Majoris. Also, I must admit I've never heard of "XZ Majoris Ceiphei". I know of the binary star XZ Cephei, but that's not the biggest star.
What the size of the star?
It can vary from the smallest (Neutron star) - with a diameter of 12km - equal to about the length of Manhattan Island from the tip till the end of Central park - to the largest (VY Canis Majoris) a hypergiant of which if it replaced the Sun would extend as far as Saturn. (1,461,600,000 km)
How big is the Sun compared to VY Canis Majoris?

If VY Canis Majoris was earth would it support 100 billion people or more?
No. VY Canis Majoris is a red "hypergiant" star. It would not support life at all. If the Sun were somehow replaced by VY Canis Majoris, the Earth would be instantly vaporized. You might be thinking "but what if it was a planet instead of a star," but the notion of a planet that large is ludicrous; anything that big would instantly collapse into a black hole without heat and radiation pressure from internal fusion to oppose its own gravity.
Is canis majoris bigger than the solar ststem?
Canis Majoris is a constellation. VY Canis Majoris, the largest known star would fill the Solar System to the orbit of Saturn but would NOT fill the Solar System.
Is vy canis majoris star us bigger than the sun?
Yes. It is way bigger. The VY Canis Majoris is known to be 1,000,000,000 times the size of the Sun. It's so big that on a scale between the 2 the VY Canis Majoris would almost be a complete rectangle compared to the Sun (and the Sun is as small as a few pixels). The star would reach the top of the screen. Winner: VY Canis Majoris
How many earths fit into VY canis majors?
It would take over 7,000,000,000,000,000 (7 Quadrillion) Earths to fill VY Canis Majoris Also, it would take over 21 Trillion pieces of A4 paper to cover the surface.
Is vy canis majoris the biggest star?
Yes, the largest known star is VY Canis Majoris which is about 2,100 times larger than our Sun which would mean 9,261,000,000 Suns would fit inside.
How many suns would fit into ny canis majoris?
2100 TIMES
What would happen if VY canis majoris smashed into r136a1?
VY Canis Majoris will spill gas onto R136a1 or destroy it or the stars will explode in high amounts of gamma rays into space no one knows how stars smash together or probably no one saw a star collision yet
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 many earths can fit in Canis Majorus?
It would take over 7,000,000,000,000,000 (7 quadrillion) Earths to fill the volume of VY Canis Majoris, the largest star in the universe
How long would it take to orbit Canis majoris?
Canis Majoris is a red hypergiant star, and it is so massive that it doesn't have a solid surface like a planet. Therefore, an object can't orbit around it like a planet orbits the Sun. If we take the size of Canis Majoris as our reference point, it is difficult to specify an exact time for an orbit.
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
