Size-wise, the Sun is to Betelgeuse as the Earth is to the Sun.
Betelgeuse is much bigger than the Sun.
No. The sun is actually hotter than Betelgeuse, but much smaller.
If the star Betelgeuse replaced the Sun, most planets will be inside the star, even Jupiter. It would outshine the Sun like the Sun outshines the Moon.
The star called Betelgeuse is a red giant. It is about 700 times the size of the sun, and its temperature is lower than that of the sun's, at around 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Betelgeuse.

No. The sun is the closest star. The next closest star is Proxima Centauri
Betelgeuse doesn't revolve around the sun. It is a star, even larger than the sun, and much too far away for the sun to have much effect on it.
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 a star, not a planet, so it does not have a day. We have a day and night because at times we are facing or not facing our star, the Sun. Planets have days and nights as they rotate, but stars do not.
About ten million years. Betelgeuse is a high-mass star and is therefore near the end of its "life" even though it formed much more recently than the Sun (which is between 4 and 5 billion years old, and still "middle-aged").
Betelgeuse give off more light than the Sun because it is much larger than the Sun, and the star's core is much larger and more powerful than the Sun's core.
