Planets are a lot bigger than stars except the sun... the sun is a star. So to me the answer is a star is bigger and the stars are also smaller.

Let's think about the actual sizes, not just how they appear in the sky.

You may be thinking of the apparent sizes as seen from Earth. Stars like our Sun are a lot bigger than planets and there's lots of stars bigger than the Sun.

However there are also stars a lot smaller than the Sun. So some stars are

smaller than some planets.

For example "white dwarfs" have a lot more mass than the Earth, but they are

not much bigger.

Let's be clear though, most stars are bigger than planets.

Ehat is the difference between stars and planets?

Stars are massive celestial objects primarily composed of hydrogen and helium that generate energy through nuclear fusion. Planets, on the other hand, are smaller celestial bodies that orbit around stars and do not produce their own light. Planets can be rocky, gaseous, or icy, and they do not undergo nuclear fusion like stars do.

Can planets of the solar system be found in the Big Dipper?

No, the big dipper (or Ursa Major) is not in the area of the sky that the planets move through. All of the planets, sun and moon are more or less on the same plane, so they all move in the same east/west line across the sky. Ursa Major is more to the north.
