About 85,000 times as bright!
The sun appears brighter than Rigel does because it is much closer to us by a factor of about 50 million.
no you are stupid if you are answering this
Yes, many stars are brighter than our sun. Deneb and Rigel are two examples. Rigel is over 100,000 times brighter than Sol.
Brightness is related to distance. However, from the same distance, an O class star is much much brighter than a M class star. As a comparison, an O class star would appear about 100,000 times brighter than our Sun, whereas a M class star could appear 0.0017 dimmer than our Sun, if the Sun was replaced with each star.
Rigel has a luminosity of 66,000 times greater than our Sun.However, in apparent magnitude (Brightness) it has a magnitude of 0.18 whereas the Sun is -26.73.

The sun is a lot closer.

Sirius has less absolute magnitude than Rigel. Sirius is smaller and less luminous than Rigel, but much closer to us, so Sirius appears brighter. Sirius, in fact, is the brightest star in our sky (with the exception of our own star, the sun.) Rigel is still pretty bright, but many times farther away from us than Sirius.
Yes, in "absolute magnitude", Mizar is much brighter than the Sun.
No. Rigel is more than 70 times larger.
No, it is not cooler than my sun.
Rigel's effective temperature is 12100 K compared to the Sun's 5778 K. Since these temperatures are on the absolute scale, it is possible to say that Rigel is approx 2.1 times as hot.
