How big is Betelgeuse compared to Earth?
Betelgeuse is about 1,180 times larger the Sun. So Betelgeuse is about 128,620 times bigger than Earth. So as a rough approximation about 2,127,774,087,928,000 Earths could fit into Betelgeuse. That's 2 quadrillion.
Why is Betelgeuse so luminous?
Betelgeuse is so luminous because it is so large.
How can Betelgeuse look so bright?
Betelgeuse is bright because it is a huge star known as a red supergiant. If it was where our sun was, it would be big enough to extend out beyond the planet Mars.
How big is Betelgeuse compared to Rigel?
Betelgeuse is much larger than Rigel. Betelgeuse has a radius about 15 times the radius of Rigel, and a volume of about 3500 times Rigel.
How big is Betelgeuse compared from the sun?
It ia 250 times as big as the sun

What is a very big cool star?
Betelgeuse is a large cool star
Is Betelgeuse a pulsating star?
Yes: Betelgeuse is a semiregular variable star so it is classed as a pulsating star.
How many suns would fit into betelgeuse?
The radius of Betelgeuse is over 1000 times the radius of the sun, so the volume will be over a billion times. So, you could fit over a billion suns in Betelgeuse.
What might you expect the peak apparent magnitude of the Betelgeuse supernova explosion to be?
Big
Which spacecraft has studied Betelgeuse?
We haven't sent any spacecraft to Betelgeuse, it is much too far. However, the Hubble Space Telescope has studied Betelgeuse, so I guess that counts.
What stars are super giants?
super giants are a very very big star
