Here is a picture of stars:

Comparison between Sun and Arcturus
Comparison between Arcturus, red supergiant Antares, and the Sun. The black circle is the size of the orbit of Mars.
The Aldebaran compared to Sun.
Comparison between VY Canis Majoris and Sun (to scale).
Right to left: VY Canis Majoris compared to Betelgeuse, Rho Cassiopeiae, the Pistol Star and the Sun (not visible in this thumbnail). The orbits of Jupiter and Neptune are also shown.
R136a1, the most massive star known, is a blue hypergiant Wolf-Rayet star of around 265 solar masses. Left to right size comparison: a red dwarf, the Sun, a blue dwarf, and R136a1. R136a1 is not the largest known star in terms of volume; this distinction belongs to VY Canis Majoris.
