Here's a YouTube video (~ 1 min) that compares the sun to a few larger stars out there. And note, the sun is no pipsqueak; it's in the 75th percentile, larger than 3/4ths of all stars.

More like 90%. 3/4 of all stars are red dwarfs, not even visible from earth. Another 12% are K class. The sun is a brightish G class.
