Well yes and no. It's generally termed a Hypergiant.[See Link]. A supergiant is a little less luminous.
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
The Sun is one. Polaris is another.There are many examples and different types of star can have the same color.In fact, it's often hard to detect much color with the unaided eye.Of course, you should not lookdirectly at the Sun.The Sun's apparent color is affected by our atmosphere. Because of that, the Sun often looks red at sunrise or sunset.
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
The three climate zones (tropic, temperate, and polar) are separated vy imaginary lines on the Earth's surface (like the Equator). The tropic zone is in between the Tropic or Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, the temperate zone is in between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Cirlce and between the Tropic or Capricon and the Antarctic Circle. The polar zone is the rest. I hope that made sense. ;)
VY Canis Majoris has an absolute magnitude of -9.4.
VY Canis Majoris is kinda beside Wezen(Delta Canis Majoris.) Find where it says VY
As of today (2009) there is no star larger than VY Canis Majoris - a galaxy is larger than VY Canis Majoris though.
VY Canis Majoris is about 4,900 light years from earth.
Scientists say that VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star we know so basically VY Canis Majoris is bigger than Kolob.
VY Canis Majoris (Not Canis Majoris)
Canis Major
9,261,000,000 (9.2) Billion sun can fit in VY Canis Majoris.
mercy
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).
VY Canis Majoris (VY CMa)
VY Canis Majoris is probably bigger. VV Cephei A is between 800 and 950 times the diameter of our sun. VY Canis Majoris is 900 to 1050 times the diameter of our sun. As you can see, there is some overlap in the numbers, so it is possible VV Cephei A is actually the larger star, though more likely VY Canis Majoris is the biggest.Also if u see a video of biggest star it is shown that VV cephei A is actually smaller than Vy canis majoris
