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.
Does the star Betelgeuse really tell direction?
The star you're looking for to tell direction is Polaris, the North Star. If you know what time it is, and have an accurate star map, you could use Betelgeuse to tell direction, but it's difficult.
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.
How long does it take for the light generated by the star Betelgeuse to reach Earth?
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
From what point on earth is every direction south?
the North Pole
