Its diameter is about 6 astronomical units, or 500 million miles, that is about 600 times the Sun's diameter. It is big and unstable, it is only 10 million years old and will probably explode as a supernova in the next million years.
Betelgeuse is bigger than Aldebaran. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star, while Aldebaran is an orange giant star. Betelgeuse is one of the largest stars known, with a diameter around 1,000 times larger than the Sun.
No, Antares is bigger than Betelgeuse. Antares is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 700 times that of the Sun, while Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 600 times that of the Sun.
Betelgeuse is much bigger than the Sun.
Betelgeuse is one of the larger stars, while Barnard's star is just a little red dwarf star. So, yes- Betelgeuse is far larger than Barnard's.
Yes, it has a radius about 1000 times the radius of the sun.

Betelgeuse is much bigger than the Sun.
Many stars are bigger, but Betelgeuse is one of them, a red giant.

Yes, it has a radius about 1000 times the radius of the sun.
No. The biggest star ever discovered is the VY Canis Majoris, a red hypergiant with a radius of easily 2000 times bigger than that of the Sun. That is more than twice the radius of Betelgeuse. Also, the mass of VY Canis Majoris is around twice that of Betelgeuse.
No planet could ever come close to the size of Betelgeuse.
With a radius of over 1000 times our sun, the volume of Betelgeuse is over a billion times our sun. So, our sun could fit into Betelgeuse over a billion times.
Betelgeuse is larger in size than Rigel. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 800 times that of the Sun, while Rigel is a blue supergiant star with a diameter about 70 times that of the Sun.
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.
