I found some good comparisons of the relative size of some celestial bodies. Check out more pictures like these from Thygoodies.
The planets compared with the Sun.
Our Sun compared to other stars.
What is especially nice about these 3D models is their shiny, billard-ball appearance. Instantly makes me think of gobstopper candy.
Just picture it.

Hmm... I think I may have something going here.

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” – Neil Armstrong (1930-2012)
