What is the difference between Eta Carina and Eta Carinae?
Eta Carina is a dance band from Charlotte, North Carolina.Eta Carinae is a star system in the Carina constellation about 8,000 light years from our sun.
What is the temperature of the eta carinae?
Hot!
What is Bigger a Hyper Giant Star or Super Giant Star?
Hypergiants are super luminous supergiants. It isn't all about sheer size. Eta Carinae is a hypergiant but it is smaller than the supergiant Antares. This is due to the fact that Eta Carinae is about 60 times as luminous as Antares and 10 times as massive. Although size doesn't matter, the largest star VY Canis Majoris is a Hypergiant.
What is the hottest supergiant?
Probably Eta Carinae with a surface temperature of 36,000 - 40,000 degrees Kelvin.
What type of star is canopus?
Alpha Carinae (Canopus) is the brightest star in the southern constellation of Carina and Argo Navis.It has a spectral type of F0 and is a white star.
The biggest star in galaxy?
Eta Carinae.
What is the difference between Eta Carina and Eta Carinae?
Eta Carina is a dance band from Charlotte, North Carolina.Eta Carinae is a star system in the Carina constellation about 8,000 light years from our sun.
How big is Eta Carinae?
Eta Carinae is actually a star system comprising of at least two massive stars.Eta Carinae A: Has a diameter about 3.3 x 109Km (If replaced with the Sun it would extend to the orbit of Jupiter)Eta Carinae B: Is about half that of Eta Carinae AHowever, it is difficult to be precise as both stars are contained within the Homunculus Nebula and they are shedding material at around the mass of the Earth each day.
What is the temperature of the eta carinae?
Hot!

Yes it is and will be so for quite a while.
What is the name of the biggest star in galaxy?
'Sol' also known as the sun is the only star in our solar system and is therefore the biggest one. If you meant planets than that would be Jupiter.
