If the Sun was replaced by Orion's star Betelgeuse , its size would completely engulf the earth. Also it would extend past the orbit of Jupiter, and most of the planets would be inside the star including Jupiter. Betelgeuse would outshine the Sun like our Sun outshines the Moon. Unfortunately the Earth would have a "Front Row Seat" when the Red SuperGiant blows itself into oblivion. The explosion would be so bright that the star in Orion (constellation) which is 640 Light Years away. Days would still change from day into night, but for a few weeks or so it would appear like there are two Suns in the sky.
this is what would happen when Betelgeuse explodes :)
