How many earths in Betelgeuse?

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.


What are facts about Betelgeuse?

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 :)


How many times bigger is the star betelgeuse than the sun?

Its diameter is about 6 astronomical units, or 500 million miles, that is about 600 times the Sun's diameter. It is big and unstable, it is only 10 million years old and will probably explode as a supernova in the next million years.
