your mom is hotter than all the stars combined!
Rigel, has a surface temperature of 12100 K, approx 3.1 times as hot as Aldebaran (3910 K).
No, Rigel is hotter. Rigel is a blue star with a temperature of about 11,000 K, and Betelgeuse is a red star with a temperature of about 3,500 K.
Rigel: 71 solar radiiAldebaran: 44.2 solar radii.So Rigel is almost twice the size of Aldebaran.See related link for a pictorial of the difference (Section 5).
Simply because Rigel is hotter.
It's hotter

yes
In terms of size from smallest to largest, its Sirius, Pollux, Aldebaran, Rigel, Betelgeuse, Antares, and KY Cygni.
The absolute magnitude of Rigel is -7.92 while that of Aldebaran is -6.41. This means that Rigel is approx 4 times brighter than Aldebaran - technically. So the question is based on a flawed grasp of absolute magnitude.
No, Rigel is hotter. Rigel is a blue star with a temperature of about 11,000 K, and Betelgeuse is a red star with a temperature of about 3,500 K.

It's hotter
Rigel is much hotter. Red is the lowest temp. blue and white are the hottest
Sirius, Rigel, Betelgeuse, Aldebaran, and Bellatrix to name a few. Most stars have boring names with a Greek letter and the constellation in which they are found, or just numbers and letters.
Some stars are hotter then the Sun such as Sirius and Rigel.
