Yar. There are many different sizes of stars, each is classified differently. There are main sequence stars like the Sun and many others, (Proxima Centurai etc.) Then there are red giant stars which are at least as big as the Sun but have almost run out of nuclear fuel. There are also supergiants which are between 10 to 100 times the size of the Sun and are 100,000 times brighter than Sol, our sun. Small stars include white dwarfs, an end stage in the star's evolution, as well as brown dwarfs which are failed stars only 80 times larger than jupiter. in comparison, the Sun is 100s of times larger than Jupiter.
