Super giant stars are typically 10 times more massive than the Sun.

Explanation:

As the name suggests, super giant stars are massive and bright. Our Sun is a relatively small star and much less bright and massive than a super giant.

A typical super giant star is about 10 times the mass of the Sun. They are also between 1,000 and 1,000,000 brighter than the Sun.

So, super giants are never smaller than the Sun, quite the opposite they are much bigger.
