Where does the betelgeuse belong?

Answer 1

Rigel (Beta Orionis) is the brightest star in the constellation Orion and the sixth brightest star in the sky.

It is a type B star and will have a temperature between 10,000 -> 30,000 K

Observations have placed it's surface temperature at 12,130K. This equates to:

• 21,374 degrees Fahrenheit
• 11,857 degrees Celsius

Answer 2

It was probably formed, like other stars, by the gravitational collapse of a "stellar nebula".

Betelgeuse is an old star now, a red "supergiant". It would have been very different

originally, of course.

Answer 3

Wikipedia lists the temperature of Beta Orionis as 12,130 kelvin. This information can be assumed to be gathered on the basis of its color, therefore, it will be its approximate surfacetemperature.

Answer 4

Betelgeuse is a red giant star here in our own Milky Way galaxy, about 640 light years away.
Our Galaxy - The Milky Way. All stars you can see are in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Answer 5

Unable to answer.

Any evidence of the nebula will be long gone or merged into another.

Answer 6

The diameter of Rigel is around 78 times that of our own suns diameter. So that is around 1,392,000km x 78 = 108,576,000km.

Answer 7

Betelgeuse belongs in the constellation of Orion

Answer 8

Betelgeuse or Alpha Orionis and Rigel or Beta Orionis are in the constellation of Orion the Hunter.

Answer 9

Betelgeuse or alpha Orionis makes up part of the constellation Orion.

Answer 10

Sirius is hotter. Rigel has a surface temperature of around 11,000 Kelvin, while Sirius A has a surface temperature of around 25,200 Kelvin.
