A red hypergiant star could have a radius of up to 2000 solar radii or more, where one solar radius is the radius of our sun. If at the centre of our solarsystem, a hypergiant could extend out as far as Jupiter or more.

Depends on how you want to classify bigger. Mass or diameter. VY Canis Majoris is a red hypergiant and has the largest diameter of any known star. See related questions for both answers


How many hyper giant stars exist in the universe?

Hypergiants are relatively rare. Only a few stars become hypergiants, and they don't last very long (only a few million years). Probably a few in every major galaxy.


What are Hypergiants?

Hypergiants are extremely massive and luminous stars that are among the largest in the universe. They are tens to hundreds of times more massive than the Sun and thousands to millions of times more luminous. Hypergiants have very short life spans compared to smaller stars, often only a few million years, before they explode in a supernova or collapse into a black hole.

If the circumference of a circle doubles the radius?

IMPOSSIBLE circumference = 2*pi*radius if circumference = 2*radius: 2*radius=2*pi*radius 2*radius/(2*radius)=2*pi*radius/(2*radius) 1=pi pi= 1 therefore it is impossible to have a circumference that is twice that of the radius
