Rigel is 260 +/-20 parsecs away.
260 +/- 20 parsecs.
"Normal Years" is a measure of time. "Rigel from Earth" is a measure of distance. There is no answer to this question.
Despite being more intrinsically luminous than Sirius, Rigel appears dimmer in the sky due to its greater distance from Earth compared to Sirius. The brightness of a star as seen from Earth is influenced by both its intrinsic luminosity and its distance from us.
Rigel appears as bright as Betelgeuse because it is closer to Earth than Betelgeuse, even though Rigel is smaller and less luminous. The brightness of a star is determined by both its luminosity and distance from Earth, so a smaller, closer star can appear just as bright as a larger, more distant one.
It shines as brightly because of the distance it has from earth and it has to do with how old the star is.
Rigel appears as bright as Betelgeuse even though it is further away because Rigel is intrinsically brighter (has a higher luminosity) than Betelgeuse. Despite being further away, its higher luminosity compensates for the distance, making it appear similarly bright in the sky.
Rigel is brighter than Deneb when comparing their apparent magnitudes. Rigel, a blue supergiant in the constellation Orion, has an apparent magnitude of about 0.18, while Deneb, a white supergiant in the constellation Cygnus, has an apparent magnitude of around 1.25. However, Deneb is intrinsically more luminous than Rigel, but its greater distance results in a lower apparent brightness when viewed from Earth.
Distances between stars are not measured in miles: that is like measuring the distance from the Earth to the Sun in thousandths of an inch! However, since you asked, Rigel is approx 5 quadrillion miles away.
Rigel is pronounced as "RYE-jell".

Rigel is not in the solar system.
Invaders from Rigel was created in 1960.
