No, which means that Rigel appears brighter.


What star is brighter Betelgeuse or Rigel?

Betelgeuse has an apparent magnitude of 0.42(v) and an absolute magnitude of -6.02. Rigel has an apparent magnitude of 0.12 and an absolute magnitude of -7.04. So Rigel is brighter.


Which star has the less absolute magnitude rigel or Sirius?

Sirius has a lower absolute magnitude than Rigel. Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the sky with an absolute magnitude of 1.42, while Rigel has an absolute magnitude of -8.1, making it much brighter than Sirius.


Why is Rigel appears brighter than aldeberan even though aldeberan is technically brighter than Rigel?

The absolute magnitude of Rigel is -7.92 while that of Aldebaran is -6.41. This means that Rigel is approx 4 times brighter than Aldebaran - technically. So the question is based on a flawed grasp of absolute magnitude.


What apparent magnitude is ten thousand times brighter than Rigel?

An object that is ten thousand times brighter than Rigel would have an apparent magnitude of about -6. Rigel has an apparent magnitude of about 0.1, so an object that is ten thousand times brighter would be much more luminous and appear as a very bright object in the night sky.


Even though this star has an absolute magnitude greater than that of sirius it looks dimmer from earth since its 100 times farther away?

The star's absolute magnitude is a measure of its intrinsic brightness. Sirius appears brighter from Earth than a star with a greater absolute magnitude because Sirius is closer to us, which affects its apparent brightness. The star with the greater absolute magnitude might be intrinsically brighter but is much farther away, leading to its fainter appearance from Earth.
