Step 7: Now experiment with the font tools, which youâll find under the font box. 1  They are: 2  B bold. 3  I italic. 4  U underline. 5  abc strike through. 6  subscript. 7  superscript.
How about size. I think we first need to get a sense of size so we can really understand how big this star is. Our Sun is 870,000 miles across (or 1.4 million km). We could probaly fit the Earth inside the Sun 1 million times. The biggest star VY Canis Majoris is so big the Sun would fit inside this about 2100 times. Traveling. If you where to fly a plane around the world it would take about 40-50 hours (depending on fuel stops etc). Now, if you where to fly around the biggest star itâs believed it could take 1100 years!!
Of all known stars, the VY Canis Majoris is the largest. This red Hypergiant star, found in the constellation Canis Major, is estimated to have a radius at least 1,800 that of the Sunâs. In astronomy-speak we use the term 1,800 solar radii to refer to this particular size.Y Canis Majoris a.k.a. VY CMa is about 4,900 light years from the Earth. This value, however, is just a rough estimate because it is too far for parallax to be used.
