Spectroscopic estimates this distance between 700-900 light years but Hipparcos's measurement gives the distance of 860 light years . Rigel is a blue super giant and bears about 24 solar masses and shinning with approximately 85000 times the luminosity than the sun
The Sun is a star, it is Much Bigger than the Earth. It's probably thousands of times bigger than the Earth. Planets orbit around the Sun. One of those solar flares that leap out from the Sun like a flame from a fire is much bigger than the Earth.
No, the Earth is not bigger than the Sun. The Sun is 109x bigger than the Earth.
The Sun is 3504.69 times more massive than Saturn
The brightness of a star depends not just on its surface temperature, but also on its size and distance from Earth. While Rigel is hotter than the Sun, it is also a much larger and more luminous star. Therefore, even though the Sun is cooler than Rigel, it appears brighter to us because it is much closer and has a larger luminosity due to its size.
The sun is 1,000,000,000,000 times bigger than the earth.
No, Rigel is hotter than the Sun. Rigel is a blue supergiant star with a surface temperature that is much hotter than the Sun.
no you are stupid if you are answering this
Rigel is approximately 120,000 times brighter than the Sun. This high luminosity is due to Rigel's much larger size and higher temperature compared to the Sun.
yes it is
The sun appears brighter than Rigel does because it is much closer to us by a factor of about 50 million.
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).
Rigel is approximately 120,000 times more luminous than the Sun. It is a blue supergiant star, which is much larger and hotter than our Sun, resulting in its high luminosity.
Betelgeuse is larger than Rigel. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 1,180 times that of the Sun, while Rigel is a blue supergiant with a diameter roughly 79 times that of the Sun.
Rigel: 71 solar radiiAntares: 883 solar radii.So Antares is over twelve times larger than Rigel.See related link for a pictorial of the difference (Section 5).
No. Rigel is more than 70 times larger.
No, it is not cooler than my sun.
Betelgeuse is larger in size than Rigel. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 800 times that of the Sun, while Rigel is a blue supergiant star with a diameter about 70 times that of the Sun.
