All three stars in Orion’s Belt — #Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka — are much bigger and more luminous than the Sun:

Alnitak:
Type: Blue supergiant
Mass: ~28–33 times the Sun
Radius: ~20 times the Sun
Luminosity: ~100,000 times the Sun

Alnilam:
Type: Blue supergiant
Mass: ~40 times the Sun
Radius: ~32 times the Sun
Luminosity: ~375,000 times the Sun

Mintaka:
Type: Blue giant (part of a multiple star system)
Mass: ~16–20 times the Sun
Radius: ~5–7 times the Sun
Luminosity: ~90,000 times the Sun

So, not only are they larger, but they are also hotter and far more luminous than our Sun. However, they have much shorter lifespans due to how quickly they burn through their fuel.
