Castor, a binary star system in the constellation Gemini, has a combined brightness roughly 50 times that of the Sun. In terms of size, the individual stars in Castor are generally larger than the Sun, with some estimates suggesting they can be about 1.6 times the Sun's diameter. However, as a system, Castor is not as massive as the Sun, given that it is a binary system with two stars instead of a single massive star. Overall, while Castor shines brightly, it doesn't surpass the Sun in terms of mass.

Why does castor sugar dissolve quicker than any other sugars?
Dissolving will depend on surface area. Castor sugar has a smaller particle than regular sugar. The smaller the particle the larger the surface area. Surface area: Regular sugar < castor sugar < icing sugar. Castor sugar should dissolve faster than the same mass of regular sugar but slower than the same mass of icing sugar.
