Betelgeuse is a red super giant, relatively luminous, and one of the largest stars known. For comparison, if the star were at the center of our solar system its surface might extend out to between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, wholly engulfing Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Astronomers believe Betelgeuse is only a few million years old, but has evolved rapidly because of its high mass.
Betelgeuse is one of the most luminous stars known. It is a red giant expected to go supernova possibly within the next one million years. It has been known for over two hundred years as a very "restless" star, varying in brightness, and varying in diameter, too (it is difficult to give an exact measurement for the star, because it is constantly changing).
Betelgeuse is a red super-giant star "relatively" close to Earth; ONLY 640 light years away.
The larger the star, the more quickly it dies. Betelgeuse is very young as stars go, less than ten million years old. It will most likely die in a supernova explosion within the next few thousand years; in fact, it may have already done so, and the light of that explosion could be on the way. When this happens, Betelgeuse will be brighter than the full moon. Considering its probable fate, we wouldn't want it to be any closer!
Betelgeuse is easily visible; it is the red star in the shoulder of Orion.

1. Betelgeuse is a star
2. It is a large one
3. It is bright, not just because it's close but because it really is bright even though it's a long way away compared to other stars.
Most definitely. Jupiter is a planet and Betelgeuse is a star. Our sun is much larger than Jupiter and Betelgeuse is much larger than our sun.
Very much so.
Betelgeuse is about 700 times larger than the Earth's Sun which, in turn, is about 10 times larger than Jupiter.
yes! its brighter than our sun
no it dosent
Jupiter is brighter than Betelgeuse in the night sky because it is much closer to the Earth in comparison to Betelgeuse(Betelgeuse is more than 500 lightyears away form the Earth). This way, Jupiter appears larger than Betelgeuse, and celestial objects that appear larger also appear brighter than objects that appear small.
Bigger than Earth smaller than Jupiter
Jupiter is more than 1000 times bigger than earth.
Jupiter is bigger than Saturn
Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all larger than Earth but smaller than Jupiter.
Betelgeuse is much bigger than the Sun.

Yes, it has a radius about 1000 times the radius of the sun.
No, it is not.
Jupiter is bigger than earth
betelgeuse
Bigger than Earth smaller than Jupiter
Jupiter is more than 1000 times bigger than earth.
If you meant "Is Jupiter bigger than the SUN" then no. The sun is bigger than any planets in our known solar system.
Betelgeuse is one of the larger stars, while Barnard's star is just a little red dwarf star. So, yes- Betelgeuse is far larger than Barnard's.
Jupiter is not bigger then the sun however, it is bigger then some stars
No, Jupiter is bigger.
