the sun is smaller in size y'all.
No, Antares is bigger than Betelgeuse. Antares is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 700 times that of the Sun, while Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 600 times that of the Sun.
no.Not even close.Antares is over 20x bigger then the sun.The sun is nothing compared to this star.But not even the antares star is big. The biggest star in the galaxy is called the vy canis majoris. The canis majoris makes antares look like it is invisible!
A binary system is a term referring to two objects (usually stars, but also planets, galaxies or asteroids) whose gravitational interaction causes them to orbit about a common centre of mass.Antares has a companion star (or binary star) called Antares B which is at a distance of approximately 550 AU from Antares A. (Neptune for comparison is only 30 AU from the Sun). This "companion" takes around 878 years to orbit Antares A.
Antares is a red supergiant star, and is estimated to be 12 million years old. Our sun, on the other hand, is about 4.6 billion years old, making it older than Antares.
yes it is hotter than the sun closest to us [earth]
capella and sun
At 883 times the size of our Sun, the supergiant star Antares is very much 'alive'.
No, Antares is bigger than Betelgeuse. Antares is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 700 times that of the Sun, while Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 600 times that of the Sun.
In our solar system: the Sun. In the galaxy it's Antares, compared to Antares the Sun is the size of one pixel!!!!!!!

A yellow star. The Sun is definitely not a red giant; if it were to swell to the size of a red giant (like Antares, for example), our Earth would end up inside the Sun.
antares is much bigger than the sun, it is like a basketball comparing to a dot of rice
Antares (Alpha Scorpii) is a huge red hypergiant star, with a radius 800 times that of our own sun. There are some bigger stars though, such as Betelgeuse (1180 solar radii) and V354 Cephei (1520 solar radii), but the biggest known star is VY Canis Majoris, which is estimated to have a diameter between 1800 and 2100 times that of our own sun. If it were in the centre of our solar system its edges would almost reach the orbit of Saturn.

Antares is a red super giant. It is approximately 800 times larger than our Sun. If our Sun was replaced by Antares, it would reach out beyond the orbit of Mars. Around 512 million Suns could fit inside Antares. See link for a pictorial representation
