Not really, it's just a simple matter of size comparisons. You just need to be able to see in your mind the relationship between size and the type of object you're looking at.
Look at it this way, if the Sun was the size of a pinhead (about 1mm), VY Canis Majoris would be a ball about 2.1 metres across. Neptune would be a point 0.03mm in size orbiting 1.2 metres away from the star....at the scale I suggested.
