Cause in union one time one variable we can use.
union a
{
int a;
char b;
}a;
max size of union = integer size;
union a
{
int a;
char b;
}a;
max size of union = integer size;

Max size of the union is the size of the largest data type or the memory taken by largest member.
If you want you may check it on GNU C Compiler.

union a
{
int a;
