  • Understanding Star Sizes: Radius, Mass & Luminosity Explained
    Please clarify your question! "Size of star" could mean:

    * Radius: How big a star is across. This can range from tiny neutron stars (about 10 miles) to supergiants (hundreds of times the size of our Sun).

    * Mass: How much a star weighs. Stars can be as small as a tenth the mass of our Sun or over 100 times more massive.

    * Luminosity: How bright a star is. This is a measure of the energy a star emits, and is related to both size and temperature.

    Could you tell me what aspect of a star's size you're interested in?
