A Galaxy isn't just one object, it is a group of millions of objects, in this case the objects being stars (which are all like the Sun since the Sun in itself is a star).

A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system that consists of stars, stellar remnants and an interstellar medium of gas and dust.

Typical galaxies range from dwarfs with as few as ten million (107) stars up to giants with one trillion (1012) stars, all orbiting the galaxy's center of mass.

Our own Galaxy in which our solar system is found is called the Milky Way and it is estimated to contain at least 200 billion stars and possibly up to 400 billion stars.

So to answer your question:Yes, the galaxy is bigger than the Sun.
