You would need hundreds of pages to list all the stars known to us that are larger than the Sun. Try one of the online star catalogs for an example.

Our sun is puny compared to some other stars in the Milky Way. The largest known star (in terms of mass and brightness) is called the Pistol Star and is known to lie at the center of the Pistol Nebula in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is believed to be 100 times as massive as our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright!
VY Canus Majoris has a size between 600 and 2100 times the size of our Sun! However, this star is only about 500,000 times brighter than our Sun and 30 or so times more massive than our Sun. It is in a stage of its lifecycle called a red hypergiant, and while it is very big, it is rather cool in temperature compared to our Sun.

There are billions of stars bigger than our Sun; technically it is a yellow dwarf. There are no planets bigger than our Sun; anything that massive would be a star, not a planet. Our sun is just one star among trillions in our galaxy. Our galaxy is IN our Galaxy, so it couldn't get any closer.
The graphics linked below may help you grasp the relative sizes of stars and planets.

The Sun is a medium-sized star. There are lots of dwarf stars which are smaller than the Sun, but there are also plenty of stars of equal or greater size.
Here's a video which illustrates the relative size of several well-known stars in our galaxy (the Milky Way):

Our star is considered small compared to others. There are stars thousands of times larger than our sun. Yet our sun can contain about 1 million earths.
I think this video will not only answer your question, but give you a visual idea of how planets and stars stack up against each other.

Definitely there are..But it's better to consult with an astrologist to know the details about it...

yes there is one that is 10 thousand times bigger
