Illustration comparing the size of four small stars. The largest of the four is Sirus A,a blue-white star roughly 1.7 times the size of the Sun. The yellow one is the Sun,a main sequence dwarf with a diameter of 1.39 million km (865,000 miles). The red star is Proxima Centauri,a red dwarf and of the closest star to the Sun. At 200,000 km (125,000) across it is only 1/7 the size of the Sun,not much larger than the planet Jupiter. Lastly,the small white star is Sirius B,a white dwarf. It is only 8 per cent of the size of the Sun,smaller even than the planet Earth | |
