Sun is biggest star in solar system QUESTION: Which star is the biggest in the solar system? ANSWER: The largest star, and indeed the only star in our solar system, is the sun. The sun is a bit under a million miles across. About 110 Earths put side by side would equal the size of the sun. The sun has 99.8 percent of the mass of our solar system. It is 93 million miles away, slightly closer on Jan. 3 of every year, and farther away on July 5 of each year. Those two dates can vary by a couple of days. The sun is an ordinary, garden-variety class G star.

Beyond Pluto: 5 things left to explore in our solar system 1. Eris, the most massive object after the eight planets, and other Kuiper Belt kin. New Horizons showed that Pluto is the largest object in the outer region of the solar system known as the Kuiper Belt. A Kuiper Belt object called Eris, discovered in 2005, was previously thought to have a wider diameter than Pluto. That was one of the main reasons for Pluto's demotion from planet to dwarf planet in 2006.
