We do not know for sure, but if you're worried about the "supposed" supernova explosion of this star in 2012, I assure you it will remain at around 640 light-years away from us, which is certainly a safe distance.

Is Betelgeuse the closest star to earth?
No. The sun is the closest star. The next closest star is Proxima Centauri
Will Betelgeuse become a neutron star?
After a supernova explosion in Betelgeuse it will definitely become at least a neutron star. However, because of it's mass it's more than likely to become a black hole. If it does, then it will be the closest black hole to Earth.
Which star is brighter Vega or Betelgeuse?
Brightnest is a factor of luminousity and distance as seen from Earth. (Apparent magnitude)Vega - 0.03.Betelgeuse: 0.42So Betelgeuse is brighter as viewed from Earth.
How is the sun compared to the star betelgeuse?
Size-wise, the Sun is to Betelgeuse as the Earth is to the Sun.
How big is Betelgeuse compared to Earth?
Betelgeuse is about 1,180 times larger the Sun. So Betelgeuse is about 128,620 times bigger than Earth. So as a rough approximation about 2,127,774,087,928,000 Earths could fit into Betelgeuse. That's 2 quadrillion.
Which of these stars is closest to the earth Polaris Antares or Betelgeuse?
Polaris is the closest of the three stars.

How Many astronomical units is the sun from Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is 40,473,416.93376 AU' (Astronomical Units) from Earth.
How many light years away is betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is approximately 600 light years from Earth.
Is betelgeuse the farthest star from earth?
No, Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years from earth, but some stars are many billions of light-years away.
Why does a star such as Betelgeuse which is located far from earth have much greater absolute magnitude than apparent magnitude?
well my reason is that the betelgeuse must be very large , because they said that the betelgeuse is located far from earth .

Is Betelgeuse going to destroy earth?
No. Some time in the next million years Betelgeuse will explode as a supernova, but it is too far away from us to damage the earth. All we will see is Betelgeuse getting a lot brighter in the night sky.
