...of size larger than the sun? If so what are the names and how far away from the earth?
 
No, any object as heavy as the sun must be a star - the gravity would inevitably cause either nuclear fusion, material degradation or actual collapse into a singularity (black hole).

The largest singular object that we know of is VY Canis Majoris, a gigantic star with a diameter about 2200 times as large as the sun - it would fill our solar system up to the orbit of Saturn.
