Earth is a big planet, but it is nothing compared to some of the other planets and stars. See for yourself

I am pretty sure that you know about all the planets in our universe, if you dont, you are definitely not smarter than a 5th grader. Anyways, I wanted to provide a bit of information about the other stars.

1. Sirius is the brightest star in the night-time sky. It is located in the constellation Canis Major. Sirius can be seen from almost every inhabited region of the Earth’s surface. Under the right conditions, Sirius can be observed in daylight with the naked eye, ofcourse the sky must be very clear, with the observer at a high altitude, the star passing overhead, and the sun low down on the horizon. Read more about Sirius.
2. Pollux is an orange giant star approximately 34 light-years away in the constellation of Gemini (the Twins). Pollux is the brightest star in the constellation, brighter than its twin Castor. As of 2006, Pollux was confirmed to have an extrasolar planet orbiting it. Read more about Pollux.
3. Arcturus is the brightest star in the constellation Boötes. It is also the third brightest star in the night sky, after Sirius and Canopus. Read more about Arcturus.
4. Rigel  is the brightest star in the constellation Orion and the sixth brightest star in the sky. Read more about Rigel.
5. Aldebaran is the brightest star in the constellation Taurus and one of the brightest stars in the nighttime sky. Because of its location in the head of Taurus, it has historically been called the Bull’s Eye. NASA’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft, which flew by Jupiter in 1973 will reach and pass by Aldebaran in about two million years.
6. Betelgeuse is the second brightest star in the constellation Orion and the ninth brightest star in the night sky approximately 600 light-years away from Earth. It is a red giant. Read more about Betelgeuse.
7. Antares is a red supergiant star in the Milky Way galaxy and the sixteenth brightest star in the nighttime sky and about 600 light years away. Read more about Antares.

How big is this world? These are just some of the known stars and planets who are millions of years away. Well, I hope you enjoyed this little bit of info as I did.
