First of all it is important to know that finding exact distance between stars is a very complex and inaccurate process. That said the distance between our sun and Betelgeues star is 640 light years give or take 143 light years. :)
yep its very inaccurate.
In miles 640 lightyears turn out to be 3784292189032320000 miles
well my reason is that the betelgeuse must be very large , because they said that the betelgeuse is located far from earth .

No. Some time in the next million years Betelgeuse will explode as a supernova, but it is too far away from us to damage the earth. All we will see is Betelgeuse getting a lot brighter in the night sky.
this means that Betelgeuse, is 3,120,000,000,000,000 Miles from earth perhaps.
Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years from the sun.

Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years from the sun.
600 million miles
Betelgeuse has a radius of over 510 million miles, giving a surface area of about 3.27 × 1018 square miles.
Brightnest is a factor of luminousity and distance as seen from Earth. (Apparent magnitude)Vega - 0.03.Betelgeuse: 0.42So Betelgeuse is brighter as viewed from Earth.
No, Betelgeuse is too far away to have any effect on the sun.
We will have a pretty sight in the night sky. When it explodes, Betelgeuse is predicted to be almost as bright as a full moon in our night sky for a few weeks. Scientists will also learn a lot about supernovas, from being able to observe one happening relatively close. But, Betelgeuse is too far away to do any damage to Earth.
Size-wise, the Sun is to Betelgeuse as the Earth is to the Sun.
