Detailed explanation-1: -The Short Answer: Our Sun is an average sized star: there are smaller stars and larger stars, even up to 100 times larger. Many other solar systems have multiple suns, while ours just has one. Our Sun is 864, 000 miles in diameter and 10, 000 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -"We have found stars that are 100 times bigger in diameter than our sun. Truly those stars are enormous, ‘’ NASA says on its SpacePlace website (opens in new tab). “We have also seen stars that are just a tenth the size of our sun."
Detailed explanation-3: -Some stars are much bigger than our Sun (and weigh a lot more too), and are even hotter inside. In some cases it’s hundreds of millions of degrees inside the star!
Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun is larger than 90 percent of the stars in our galaxy. Compared to the extreme giants and dwarfs, however, it is of medium temperature and brightness. Like all stars on the main sequence, the Sun produces energy in its core by converting hydrogen to helium.
