The diameter of VY Canis Majoris is Est. 3,063,500,000 km. (but disputed). If the Sun was replaced by VY Canis Majoris, its surface would extend to the orbit of Saturn.Assuming the upper size limit of 2100 solar radii, light would take more than 8 hours to travel around the star's circumference, as opposed to 14.5 seconds for our Sun.It would take over 7,000,000,000,000,000 (7 Quadrillion) Earths or 7,000,000,000 (7 Billion) Suns to fill VY Canis Majoris.Y Canis MAjoris is a star that is 2100 times the mass of our own sun, and it is the largest star discovered to date. 7 people found this useful.
