you can't really know the universe is so vast that it is impossible to tell if there is a star bigger that the solar system there are numerous amounts of data unknown about space. That's just my knowledge because there is so much we do not know about other solar systems and galaxies. Than again i could be wrong.

If you mean our solar system, then it may be possible, although unlikely. The logical conclusion would be that a star that big would either have so little mass that it would fly apart and cease to exist (or maybe form a Nebula?), or it would have so much mass that it would collapse upon itself and be a smaller star or form a black hole.

If you mean larger than its own solar system, then no, there would not be a solar system since it would be engulfed in the star.

The largest known star, VY Canis Majoris, is thought to be so large that it would extend beyond the orbit of Saturn, if it were to be placed in our solar system. One could think that that's almost as big as the solar system but, if you define the size of the system as the diameter of the orbit of the outermost planet, then it's still only about as big as a third of our solar system.

Is a red giant star bigger than earth?

Yes. Even the smallest star is many times larger than Earth. Earth is a bit more than 12,000 kilometers across. A red giant star is far larger with a diameter of 20 to 100 million kilometers (20,000,000 to 100,000,000).


How is a star compared to the earth?

It depends on what star you compare it to. Stars have many different sizes. Our sun is a star and it is approximately a million times larger than the earth.


Is the sun a giant star farthest from Earth?

No. The sun is the nearest star to Earth. The next closes star is more than 250,000 times farther away. The sun is larger than the average star, but not a giant.


Why is your sun a star so much larger than other stars in the sky?

The sun is much closer to Earth than any other star, so it appears much larger to us.


Can a star land on earth?

No. While stars look tiny in the sky they are actually enormous, far larger than Earth.


Why does the sun appear larger than other star when seen from earth?

It's closer to us


What will happen if a star hits earth?

It would be better to ask what would happen if Earth hit a star, as stars are much larger than Earth is. The planet would be vaporized by the intense heat.
