    I assume the last 2 are comparisons of other stars?

    Its interesting though I didn't realise Mars was so small compared to the earth

    No, they're just the biggest known stars in the universe (the sun is basically a star as well offcourse smile.gif )

    Yup. We are pretty insignificant no matter what we may think.

    Me and my friend were talking about this last night. Black holes merging and super massive black holes. Fun.

    No the last two are the biggest red giant stage stars we know of at this point. In comparision to the sun its huge and if our sun did that it would engulf Mercury, Venus, and Earth...Mars would be so close it'd burn up.

    If our sun became a red giant..we can forget mars...the planets surface would be so unspeakably hot that it would strip away the atmostsphere. Like venus but worse. It wouldnt engulf mars but it would be about the same distance as mercury is to the sun...to close for comfort. Pluto would still be too cold because its so far away. we'd actually be better off on Eurpoa (Jupiter's Icy moon w/ liquid water under it) or Titan (Saturns moon)
