What are the largest stars and what are their major characteristics?

Answer 1

Hypergiants.

The largest stars known to exist are hypergiants and supergiants, which burn hydrogen at a rate significantly faster than that of the Sun. The temperature of all stars is dependent upon their color; blue stars are the hottest, with surface temperatures exceeding 10,000 degrees; yellow stars have surface temperatures between 5,000 and 6000 degrees; and orange stars have temperatures between 3,000 and 4,000 degrees.
