Relatable comparison of VY Canis Majoris to the Sun? I was trying to describe how vast the largest known star is to someone and felt I wasn't quite able to relate the scale difference. I know it's roughly 1500 times larger than the sun. Anyone know of a good analogy?
After some playing around with wolfram alpha and google my best comparison has been

The sun compared to VY Canis Majoris is like a donut compared to the London Eye.

The London Eye is about 120m in diameter, this divided by 1500 is about 8cm which is roughly the diameter of a ring donut.
