Polaris is approx 46 times the radius of the sun: somewhere between 30 and 34 million kilometres.
No. Radius is half of the diameter.
(radius+radius) times pi
The circumference is 2*pi*radius. It does not matter if the radius is an integer or a fraction.The circumference is 2*pi*radius.

I am sorry radius was named after george radius who was a scientisit
You already know the radius.
Polaris is a yellow super-giant with two smaller companions, Polaris Aa has a radius which is 46 +/- 3 times the Sun's radius.
Polaris has a radius around 30 times that of our own sun.
Pollux is larger than Polaris. Pollux, a binary star in the constellation Gemini, has a radius about 8.5 times that of the Sun, while Polaris, the North Star in the constellation Ursa Minor, has a radius approximately 2.5 times that of the Sun. Thus, Pollux is significantly larger in size compared to Polaris.
The main star in the Polaris system has a mass of 4.5 Suns and a radius which is 46 +/- 3 times as big as the Sun's.
Polaris has a radius which is around 5000 as big and so it occupies a volume which is approximately 125 billion times as large.
The radius of Polaris in inches is: 27,400,032,000 inches.
The main star in the Polaris system, Polaris Aa, is a yellow super-giant, with a radius which is 46 +/- 3 times that of the sun. Its apparent magnitude is 1.98 but it is a Cepheid variable.
It's the circle whose radius is the same as your north latitude. (That means it depends on where you are, and if you're south of the equator, Polaris is below your horizon anyway and there is no such circle.)
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is significantly larger than Proxima Centauri b, which is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri. Polaris is a supergiant star with a radius about 30 times that of the Sun, while Proxima Centauri is a small, low-mass star, about 14% the mass of the Sun. In terms of size, Polaris is vastly larger than Proxima Centauri b's host star.
Polaris makes a little circle of about 1/3° radius around the celestial north pole every day. But we don't notice that, and it appears to mark the pole itself. So the altitude of Polaris is essentially equal to the observer's north latitude. If he's standing 41° north of the equator, then he'll see Polaris at roughly 41° above his northern horizon.
No. Polaris is a multiple star system. In the late 18th century it was resolved into two components, Polaris A and Polaris B. Later, Polaris A was resolved further into Polaris Aa and Polaris Ab. Neither Polaris Aa nor Polaris Ab are red giants. Aa is a supergiant and Ab is a dwarf; both of them are spectral class F ("yellow-white").
