In solar system, Earth > Venus > Mars > Mercury > Pluto

Ok, let’s get serious. There are stars bigger than Sun. _ooooh.gif For examples, Sirius, Pollux, Arcturus…etc. Jupiter is only 1 pixel in the picture and the Earth is invisible in this scale.

Ok, how about stars bigger than Arcturus? You bet! Antares > Betelgeuse > Aldebaran > Rigel > Arcturus. Our sun is only 1 pixel in this scale and Jupiter is invisible now!!! Holy cow, imagine that the Earth is sitting beside Antares. Earth will be totally torched and the water evaporates. _ooooh.gif Hold on…there ARE stars even bigger than Antares. See this video.

Although it seems that modern science is quite impressed about the dimension of Antares - 28,000 times the size of our Earth, it should be clear that this is nothing but a particle of dust compared with the planets in Vaikuntha, Goloka Vrindavan.
