Betelgeuse has an apparent magnitude of 0.42(v) and an absolute magnitude of -6.02. Rigel has an apparent magnitude of 0.12 and an absolute magnitude of -7.04. So Rigel is brighter.
No, which means that Rigel appears brighter.
No, which means that Rigel is brighter.
Sirius, which means that Rigel is brighter.
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.

Rigel is the brightest star in the constellation Orion.It has an apparent magnitude of 0.18 and an absolute magnitude of -6.7
The absolute magnitude of Rigel is -7.92 while that of Aldebaran is -6.41. This means that Rigel is approx 4 times brighter than Aldebaran - technically. So the question is based on a flawed grasp of absolute magnitude.
The nearest would be Rigel with an apparent magnitude of +0.12.
Rigel is the brightest star in Orion and the sixth brightest star in the sky, with an apparent magnitude of 0.18.
Rigel is brighter.
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.
Rigel is brighter than Betelgeuse.
