Is sirius bigger than earth?
Yes. Sirius actually consists of two stars. The main object, Sirius A is not only bigger than Earth but is almost twice the diameter of the sun. The secondary star, Sirius B is a collapsed remnant of a star called a white dwarf. It is slightly smaller than Earth but far denser.
Where is Sirius b located in the night sky?
Sirius, which consists of both Sirius A and Sirius B is in the constellation Canis Major, which, if you are looking south, appears below and to the left of Orion. Sirius B itself is too dim to be seen from Earth; the vast majority of the light from Sirius is from Sirius A. Even then, as a binary system, the two stars are too close together for us to see them separately.
