      Check out this website:

      There are some big ones out there!

      Stars can’t go any bigger than about 32,000 times the weight of our own sun, this is because they literally shine so bright they blow away any more stuff that tries to fall onto them.

      Still, 32,000 times our own sun is pretty huge.

      It depends on the age of the sun as well, as they change in size, weight and strength depending on where they are in their life cycle.
