How long does it take for the light generated by the star Betelgeuse to reach Earth?
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
Is a star going supernova in the Orion?
It's quite possible that we MAY see Betelgeuse go supernova. It may have already happened but as the star is over 600 light years away, the light will take a while to reach us.
How long does it take to get a nautical star tattoos?
It takes around one to two hours to get a nautical star tattoo. The exact length of time depends on how big the tattoo is.
Is it possible for a black hole to disappear and if it is how long will the process take?
Yes, black holes slowly evaporate after meeting critical mass or without any planets or star around it
How long would it take to get to a star?
it depends how far away the star is. it's not like we have the technology or anything anyway so....
How long does it take Betelgeuse to revolve around the sun?
Betelgeuse doesn't revolve around the sun. It is a star, even larger than the sun, and much too far away for the sun to have much effect on it.
How long does it take for the light generated by the star Betelgeuse to reach Earth?
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
How long does it take for betelgeuse to orbit its galaxy?
Since Betelgeuse is a nearby star (compared to the size of the galaxy, that is), you can assume that it takes about the same time as our Solar System to orbit the galaxy - approximately 240 million years.
Can a rover landed on betelgeuse?
First of all, Betelgeuse is 640 light-years away from Earth. So, even if a rover is sent to this star at the speed of light, it would take 640 years for it to get there. Second of all, once it reaches there, we would have to control the rover with radio signals. The signals would have to be extremely strong, and would take 640 years to get to the star. This is impossible and impractical. Third of all, Betelgeuse is a huge hot star. If a rover gets anywhere closer than a few million miles to that star, it would completely melt/vaporize. Fourth, as supergiant star, Betelgeuse has no solid surface; only tenuous gasses. So, no, a rover cannot be sent/land on the star Betelgeuse.
How long would it take to get to Betelgeuse?
No one really knows, because no one has ever been to Betelgeuse. It would take much more time than getting to Pluto.
How long does it take light to reach earth from Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star about 640 light-years from Earth. So light from Betelgeuse takes 640 years to get here. Here's an interesting fact; the star Betelgeuse is probably near the end of its life, and may explode in a supernova explosion any time. Very massive stars like Betelgeuse live fast and die in under 100 million years, and Betelgeuse will probably go supernova within the next 10,000 years. This is like no time at all in cosmic terms, but in terms of a HUMAN lifetime, it probably will NOT happen while we're alive to see it. But it could. In fact, Betelgeuse might have exploded 500 years ago, and we wouldn't know it for another 140 years!
How long does it take Rigel and Betelgeuse to orbit each other?
Rigel and Betelgeuse don't orbit each other. They are hundreds of light-years away from each other.
How long does it take for earth to revolve around its star?
365 Days & 6 Hours
How long does it take for stars to revolve around the sun?
There is no other star that revolves around our sun. There are, however, many double and triple star systems in the universe, where the stars in the system revolve around each other.
Is a star going supernova in the Orion?
It's quite possible that we MAY see Betelgeuse go supernova. It may have already happened but as the star is over 600 light years away, the light will take a while to reach us.
How long would it take to get to betelgeuse in a spaceship?
That depends on the speed of the spaceship. If it were traveling at the speed of light, which is the maximum speed that any object can reach, it would take 640 years to get there.
How long does it take to get a nautical star tattoos?
It takes around one to two hours to get a nautical star tattoo. The exact length of time depends on how big the tattoo is.
