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.

What would happen if there was no solar system?

if there were no solar system then there would be no life?


Where is betelgeuse located in the solar system?

Betelgeuse is found in the Constellation of Orion . It is a very bright star, and seen in the South West Sky, in the evening after dark , during january , february and March . It is Definitely NOT in the Solar system.


What would happen if Betelgeuse exploded?

If Betelgeuse (beetle juice) exploded then we would experience a supernova. actually Betelgeuse already had it's supernova. It's predicted that earth may see the supernova in around 2012-2013 around that year. Editing Correction: You can't detect a star going supernova before the light has reached us. This answer is biased. Claims of Betelgeuse supernova light reaching us 2012 is false. In fact it might not even go supernova the next 100'000 years. It might also be that Betelgeuse has a unsymmetrical shape and therefor is seen as shrinking. Either way, it would light up the sky as much as the full moon for a few weeks and then be visible to the naked eye fading for about a year. Also Betelgeuse is too far away from our solar system (640 Ly) to do any harm.


What would happen if the sun did not have gravity?

I believe it would clash against the rest of the solar system and burn everything else.


What will happen when Betelgeuse explodes?

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 :)
