In the context of stars, a magnitude is not a measure of size but of brightness or apparent brightness. The apparent magnitude of the sun is -27 while Sirius, the brightest star has a magnitude of only -1.4: negative magnitudes are more bright, and stars with magnitudes greater than 6.5 are not visible to the naked eye. However, the sun is a star of modest modest size compared with some of the giants and supergiants.
