VY Canis Majoris, a red hypergiant star, is estimated to have a radius 1,540 times larger than the Sun. If Earth's diameter is about 12,742 km, then approximately 9.7 billion Earths could fit into VY Canis Majoris.
Approximately 109 Earths lined up in a row would fit across the face of the Sun. So, if we consider the Sun's diameter is roughly 109 times that of Earth, we can say that about 109 solar diameters would fit between the Sun and Earth.
If layers of gas around the earth absorbed all of the suns energy, the climate would generally be much cooler. If the gasses trapped the sunlight prior to exposure, the energy of the sun would never penetrate to the ground surface.
no - they're planets. Suns are stars.
A planet in that situation would, at least for some time, experience no night and likely become quite hot. That said, a planet in a binary system could never stay between the two suns as it must orbit one of them.

Approximately 9.3 billion suns can fit into VY Canis Majoris, one of the largest known stars in our galaxy.
Yes, the largest known star is VY Canis Majoris which is about 2,100 times larger than our Sun which would mean 9,261,000,000 Suns would fit inside.
Canis Majoris is a red hypergiant star that is so large that it would be able to fit over 8 billion suns inside it. Therefore, it would be able to fit a billions of Earths inside it.
Yes, and "We don't know". There is a maximum theoretical size that a star can be; when the star is so big and so bright that the pressure of the sunlight is pushing the upper layers of the sun away from the star. The problem with our theories is that Canis Majoris is already bigger than that, and there are other stars that are also " too big" to exist - theoretically.
VY Canis Majoris has a radius about 2,100 times that of the Sun. This means that about 9 billion Suns could fit inside it. See related link for a picture of the difference in size.
Sirius is actually a binary system, consisting of two stars. Sirius A and Sirius B.Sirius A: Is almost twice as big as our Sun, so about 5 Suns.Sirius B: Is minute, about 0.000000592704 Suns.
The diameter of VY Canis Majoris is Est. 3,063,500,000 km. (but disputed) If the Sun was replaced by VY Canis Majoris, its surface would extend to the orbit of Saturn. Assuming the upper size limit of 2100 solar radii, light would take more than 8 hours to travel around the star's circumference, as opposed to 14.5 seconds for our Sun. It would take over 7,000,000,000,000,000 (7 Quadrillion) Earths or 7,000,000,000 (7 Billion) Suns to fill VY Canis Majoris. [See Link]
in a game the suns would win
Our Sun is an "average" sized star. Although it seems big to us, this is only because it is the closest to us. The largest star so far found in VY Canis Majoris which is over 2,000 times larger than our own Sun. Over 9 billion Suns could fit inside it.The Sun is a yellow dwarf, and is nothing compared to betelguse or VY Canis Majoris.The Sun is easily beaten by almost all the other normal to bigger stars.
About 1.3 million suns could fit inside the Earth's volume.
