The answer is unknown because it's precise distance from our solar system has never been determined so getting a size estimate is problematic, at best. Estimates range from 160 to 1200 light years distance with 600-700 light years being the most accepted distance. It is estimated that Betelgeuse is only 1 million years old and will go nova within the next 1 million years.

Where is betelgeuse located in the solar system?

Betelgeuse is not located in the solar system.Astronomers have had a lot of trouble trying to measure the distance to Betelgeuse,and their conclusions have varied over a wide range. The best estimate now for thedistance to Betelgeuse is 640 light years.That's a little over 40 million times as far from us as the Sun is.Betelgeuse is also interesting in another way ... its size. It may be the largest star known.It's estimated that if our Sun were at the center of Betelgeuse, then the orbits of Mercury,Venus, Earth, Mars, and possibly Jupiter and the asteroid belt, would also be inside that star.
