Is kolob bigger than vy canis majoris?
Scientists say that VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star we know so basically VY Canis Majoris is bigger than Kolob.
Is vy canis majoris star us bigger than the sun?
Yes. It is way bigger. The VY Canis Majoris is known to be 1,000,000,000 times the size of the Sun. It's so big that on a scale between the 2 the VY Canis Majoris would almost be a complete rectangle compared to the Sun (and the Sun is as small as a few pixels). The star would reach the top of the screen. Winner: VY Canis Majoris
Is the quasar 3C 273 bigger than the star VY canis Majoris?
it seems from what I've read that 3C 273 should probably be a lot bigger, because I have read that this quasar could be a hundred times brighter (bigger) than our milky way galaxy. so research this one more yourself. I would like to know more about this myself.
Which star is more powerful R136a1 or VY Canis Majoris?
R136a1 is the brightest known star. VY Canis Majoris. Its bolometric luminosity is estimated at 8.7 million times that of our Sun. VY Canis Majoris has a bolometric luminosity estimated at 450,000 that of the Sun, which is still very powerful. Bolometric luminosity refers to the entire radiation emitted at all wavelengths (not only visible light), so it is a measure of the power emitted by the star.
Is there a black hole bigger then VY Canis Majoris?
Yes. VY Canis Majoris is about 4 billion kilometers across. This is comparable to the diameter of the event horizon of a 1.3 billion solar mass black hole. Black holes much larger than this have been detected in the centers of distant galaxies.
Is there something bigger than vy canis majoris?
As of today (2009) there is no star larger than VY Canis Majoris - a galaxy is larger than VY Canis Majoris though.

Which star is bigger VV Cephei A or VY Canis Majoris?
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
Is canis majoris bigger than the solar ststem?
Canis Majoris is a constellation. VY Canis Majoris, the largest known star would fill the Solar System to the orbit of Saturn but would NOT fill the Solar System.
What is the biggest star VY canis majoris or NML cygni?
Neither of them! The VY Canis Majoris is indeed bigger, but it isn't the biggest star in the Universe. The XZ Majoris Ceiphei is almost as big as the smallest Nebula, and it would take 10,000 years to orbit it in a passenger airplane. It is the biggest star in the Universe. So indeed the XZ Majoris Ceiphei is bigger than either the VY Canis Majoris or the NML Cygni. Comments: Estimating the sizes of these big stars is not easy and there are different answers in different places. For example, Wikipedia now gives NML Cygni as bigger than VY Canis Majoris. Also, I must admit I've never heard of "XZ Majoris Ceiphei". I know of the binary star XZ Cephei, but that's not the biggest star.
Is it possible that there are suns bigger than VY Canis Majoris that are unknown to us and if so how much bigger could a sun get?
Yes, and "We don't know". There is a maximum theoretical size that a star can be; when the star is so big and so bright that the pressure of the sunlight is pushing the upper layers of the sun away from the star. The problem with our theories is that Canis Majoris is already bigger than that, and there are other stars that are also " too big" to exist - theoretically.
Which is bigger god or vy canis majoris?
Since no religion's god has a physical size, then any material object is "larger than" god.
Is betelgeuse the biggest star you know of?
No. The biggest star ever discovered is the VY Canis Majoris, a red hypergiant with a radius of easily 2000 times bigger than that of the Sun. That is more than twice the radius of Betelgeuse. Also, the mass of VY Canis Majoris is around twice that of Betelgeuse.
Is the north star bigger than the canis majoris?
NO, VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star known to man . This star is also one of the most luminous star ever found . It is red hyper giant in the constellation Canis major . This star is 1800-2100 solar radii in radius and about 4900 light years away from the earth .
How big is the Sun compared to VY Canis Majoris?
VY Canis Majoris (VY CMa) is the largest known star and also one of the most luminous.It has a radius of around1,800 -> 2,100 times that of our Sun. If the Sun was replaced by VY Canis Majoris, it's outer envelope would extend beyond Saturn.See related link for a pictorial.
Is VY Canis Majoris a cold star?
Yes, relatively it is a fairly cold star. Our sun is nearly 6000 K and VY Canis Majoris is about 3000 K. Still much hotter than most would like it, but as I said, relatively 'cold'.
