How long does it take for betelgeuse to orbit its galaxy?

Since Betelgeuse is a nearby star (compared to the size of the galaxy, that is), you can assume that it takes about the same time as our Solar System to orbit the galaxy - approximately 240 million years.


Does betelgeuse have any satellites?

Betelgeuse is a star, not a planet, so it does not have any satellites. Satellites, also known as moons, typically orbit planets, not stars.


How long does it take Rigel and Betelgeuse to orbit each other?

Rigel and Betelgeuse are not orbiting each other. They are independent stars within the Orion constellation and are located at significant distances from each other. Their apparent proximity in the sky is due to our viewpoint from Earth, but they are not gravitationally bound and do not orbit each other.


Which is one of the stars in the constellation of Orion is as large as the orbit of Saturn?

One of the stars in the constellation Orion that is as large as the orbit of Saturn is Betelgeuse. It is a red supergiant star, nearing the end of its life, located in the shoulder of the Orion constellation. Betelgeuse is one of the largest stars known and its diameter is estimated to be around 1,000 times that of the Sun, extending out to about the orbit of Saturn.


What is the volume of Betelgeuse?

Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star, is so large that if it were placed at the center of our solar system, its surface would extend beyond the orbit of Jupiter. However, as a gaseous object, Betelgeuse does not have a distinct volume like a solid object would.

What orbits betelgeuse?

Betelgeuse does not have any planets in orbit around it. It is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, about 643 light-years away from Earth. It is nearing the end of its life cycle and is expected to explode in a supernova in the future.


Does meteoroid orbit around anything?
