From Wikipedia: "Apparent dimensions (V) 65×60 arcmins". Each arc-minute has 60 arc-seconds. I believe the "V" refers to the apparent diameter according to the visible light. For comparison, the diameter of the Moon is about 30 minutes.

What star is below Orion's belt?
Right below (under) Orion's belt is the Orion Nebula- when viewed with the naked eye it looks just like a star- but it is actually consists of many star(s), dust & clouds. The really bright star in Orion (Orion's "left foot") is the 6th brightest star in the sky- Rigel.
What is the most beautiful of all the constellation?
There would be different opinions on that, but most people would agree that the most magnificent of the constellations is Orion. It is very large and has many bright stars and the Orion nebula. It is visible in the winter months. See the photo in the link below.
What are the primary stars in the constellation Orion?
Orion is probably the best constellation of all, given how bright most of its stars are. In the northern hemisphere it is very clearly seen through the winter months. Orion has many stars. There are 7 very clear stars that people see. They are Rigel Betelgeuse Bellatrix Alnilam Alnitak Saiph Mintaka The two brightest magnitude stars in Orion are Betelgeuse and Rigel. Betelgeuse is the bright red-looking star that, from our perspective, would be top left, or Orion's left shoulder if he were facing away from us. It is in fact a type of star known as a red giant. To the top right of Orion is Bellatrix. Across the centre are the three stars often collectively known as Orion's Belt. From left to right they are Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. On the bottom right is Saiph, the faintest of the 4 outer stars. It is hard to miss Rigel, which is bright blue-white and would be at the lower right, designating the knee. Many people think of stars as being the same colour, but looking at Rigel and Betelgeuse is a great way of seeing how different in colour some stars are. The famous Horsehead Nebula is to the east of Orion's Belt and far too faint to see with most home telescopes. There is also a nebula in Orion's Sword. If you look closely, one of the "stars" in the sword appears fuzzy; it is not a star but the Orion Nebula. Do a net search for Orion, Betelgeuse, Rigel, constellations, "Orion Nebula," "Orion's Belt," or any combination of these. I'm sure you'll find lots of info. Or better yet, buy yourself a backyard guide to the night sky. You may not use it much, but you'll never regret it. You may even become addicted to astronomy. Astronomy is a simple hobby to start. All you have to do is go outside on a clear night and look up. There are always wonders to be seen.
Where would be the most likely place to find an ionization nebula?
The location of the nebula is in many places because the nebula exists in different constellations. A nebula is a cloud of interstellar dust.
What will die out first the Orion star or our sun?
There is no such thing as "the Orion star". Orion is a constellation - which is basically a general direction in the sky, and there are many, many stars in that constellation.
What kinds of gases are in Orion?
Impossible to answer. Orion is a constellation made up of many stars, each located in a different spacial position. Did you mean the Orion nebula?
How many arcseconds are in 3 degrees?
3 Degrees to Arcseconds = 10,800
How many arcseconds in 5 degrees?
5 degrees is 18,000 arcseconds.
What has the Chandra Telescope Discovered?
The Chandra Telescope has discovered many different things. But the most popular discoveries are these. The Crab Nebula, The Orion Nebula, and Eta Carinea.
How many degrees are in 36000 arcseconds?
There are 10 degrees in 36,000 arcseconds. There are 3600 arcseconds in a degree, and 36,000 divided by 3,600 is 10.
Is there Evidence that the Orion region is actively forming stars?
Star formation was a one-time event. Star decay and death still occur, but stars can only be newly observed, not newly formed.
How many meters in 3.8 arcseconds?
It is impossible to convert arcseconds into metres without knowing the scale of angle measurement.

How many arcseconds are in one degree?
3600 seconds.
