Betelgeuse is around 10 times greater in diameter than Rigel.
600 million miles
~1180 R☉.
Studies since 1990 have produced an angular diameter (apparent size) ranging from 0.043 to 0.056 arcseconds.
Betelgeuse is the eighth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the constellation of Orin. It is classified as a Red Giant. Astronomers believe that Betelgeuse is only 10 million years old, but has evolved rapidly due to its high mass. Betelgeuse is made from: Helium, Carbon, and Oxygen. Astronomers don't know when but they are sure that Betelgeuse will explode and become a SuperNova. Betelgeuse is 700 million miles in diameter and the surface temperature is 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Its luminosity is about 10,000 times the Sun and it's the first star to be directly imaged by a telescope. Finally Betelgeuse is visible in winter skies from the Northern Hemisphere in the constellation Orion. Hope that Helped You :)
No. Betelgeuse has 950-1200 times the diameter of the Sun.

The size of Betelgeuse is variable (it pulsates); plus, there are different estimates. But its diameter is approximately 900 times that of our Sun, which in turn is roughly 100 times the diameter of Earth (actually 109, but the data don't justify a very exact calculation), so Betelgeuse has roughly 900 x 100 = 90,000 times the DIAMETER of Earth; the ratio of volumes is that same number, cubed, or (after some rounding) about 700,000,000,000,000 times as much.
The star Betelgeuse is estimated to be about 1000 times the diameter of the Sun.If you put Betelgeuse where the Sun is; the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars would all be inside the star.
Betelgeuse is ENORMOUS as compared to the Sun's size. Its diameter may be 1000 TIMES larger than our sun.

Betelgeuse boasts the diameter greater than the orbit of Jupiter. It has a mass of around 20 times the mass of the Sun, and its luminosity is almost 200,000 times greater than the Sun. So really, it is one of the biggest and brightest stars ever observed.

No. Betelgeuse does not affect us.
