How big are the stars?

There is a mix of sizes some are maybe 3" across some are really tiny and some are like an inch to inch and a half the tiny ones are about the size of the pinky nail

I'm sorry that I don't have dimensions for you. I can tell you that this particular set had more large stars than others I looked at. I can also let you know from previous experience that even the little stars show up nicely on the ceiling. But, again, sorry I don't have actual dimensions.

I'm sorry that I don't have actual dimensions. I wanted that information, too; but, I can let you know that when I was pricing different sets this one had the most amount of large stars. I was happy with it when I received it, and my grandson and his father seemed happy with it when I gave it to them. I can also tell you from experience that although I wanted larger stars, too, a previous set I had came with tiny stars and yet they were also quite visible. Sorry I don't have more facts.

Multiple Sizes. The biggest are around the size of a child's hand, the smallest maybe 1/4''-1/2'' across? There's a great range.

There are 4 total sizes. The large ones are pretty large, but there are only a few of them. There are more of the two smallest sizes, which is a bit of a bummer since the largest stars are the brightest.

They range there are I think 4 different sizes. The smallest is too small for young children cause they can easily put them in their mouth and could choke. The largest ones are about 2 inches width.

There are four sizes, I uploaded a picture with a penny for scale here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/permalink/mo345IJ4XEX6D85/B00009ENDT

They come in a variety of sizes. Most are tiny (the size of a penny and quarter), then there are a few large ones that I'm guessing are about 3 1/2 inches across.

the smallest ones should be about 1-1.5cm (I'm estimating because they're all up on my ceiling now and it's sort of... high up) and the largest one is 3.5 inches (this one I measured) :) hope it helps? It comes in extra small, small, medium, large :)

The big ones are 3 inches. There's little ones that are 2 inches. The little ones are just numbers and symbols. The big ones are letters and numbers.

You will see more stars than with the naked eye. 7x35s are a good tool for beginning astronomy. Lot's of stars, wide field of view.

I got these for my Dad & trying to remember how big they are. I think (from what I can recall) around 20 - 24 ". I wish I could be sure. Doesn't the manufacturer tell you?

They're about the size of a baseball. They fit it in the palm of your hand. Enjoy!

They aren't small like birders, they're a typical hand held binocular size. Maybe 7 and 1/2" across when open and about 8" long.

49" long x 16" wide x 17" highIf you are curious about the height, you can go to the orion website and on the learning videos they have a picture. BTW, this telescope is awesome!

The globe is at the grandson's house but the globe it is about 10-12" across..closer to 10" as I remember ..He really likes it for the constellations that "light up"!

They are slightly larger than the other wooden train cars that we have. Maybe 2.5 inches long and 1.25 inches high, but I haven't measured them.

Mine were roughly: 6x6 Inches or 15.24x15.24 Centimeters or 0.00000000000000000493894764 x 0.00000000000000000493894764 Parsecs. Keep in mind my calculations for parsecs are based on apparent stellar motion as observed from Earth. If you prefer Coruscant parsecs, you'll have to adjust your astronomical units.

Some are bigger and smaller as they should be (Jupiter is largest), but they are not to scale. They glow great, we made the light on my son's ceiling the "sun" and created an orbit, it's cool. But it's not scientifically accurate, it's fun.

Stars. It's cool but stars are little. Think little moons glow, too, but not the big planets.

Thanks for that question! It shows them being larger than the full size model!

No it's definitely not that big.More like about the size of a deck of cards. Check out the videos on YouTube they're very good. It will also give you a very good idea of how big they are and what they look like.

I would say they are about an 1 1/2 inches. They are long. They are really neat, but they do not last long.

They are bigger than fist size. I would guess closer to 5 inches square or so. They are awesome!

I didn't measure them, but I guess about seven inchces, my grandsons are 4 and 2 and they really like the set, the size is believable for them and all the pieces are bright colors and fun for them.
