How much brighter than Sirius would the Betelgeuse supernova be in your sky if it reached a maximum luminosity?
The supernova would be so much brighter that it's hard to compare, at least 10 magnitudes brighter then Sirius. It would probably be about the same brightness as the full moon in the sky.
Is a supernova more luminious than a nova?
An object further away will appear less bright than the same object closer to us. However, a supernova can emit the same brightness as our Sun does in it's whole lifetime, in a very short period of time - a nova on the other hand, at maximum brightness is only about 100,000 times that of the Sun.
How big is a supernova star compared to your sun?
A supernova is much larger and brighter than a regular, stable star like our sun. During a supernova event, the star can briefly outshine an entire galaxy before fading away. The process of a supernova represents the violent death of a massive star.
What is Betelgeuse going to do when it dies?
Betelgeuse will die in a massive explosion called a supernova. When this happens it will appear brighter than the full moon.
How much brighter is the former than the latter?
The former is 10 times brighter than the latter.
What is a gigantigc explosion of a star millions or billions of times brighter than the star was?
A nova or supernova.

What is as powerful as the Sun?
The vast supernova is the star which 100 times brighter than the sun
Is the sun bigger then a supernova?
Most stars are dimmer than our sun (intrinsic brightness), and thus we cannot see them. However, most of the stars that we can see are actually quite a bit brighter than our sun. Some of them are exceedingly bright.
What is bigger than a supernova?
A hypernova is a more powerful and larger explosion than a supernova. It occurs when a massive star collapses and releases an immense amount of energy, much greater than that of a supernova. Hypernovae are one of the most energetic events in the universe.
Do Super Novas Exist?
Yes. A star that explodes so that it emits thousands of times more heat and light than normal is a nova. If a nova emits as much as a whole galaxy it is termed a supernova.
Which refers to the stellar explosion that is more energetic than a nova?
A supernova. See related question.

What can the maximum brightness of a supernova be compared to what?
There aren't really any comparisons to be made to a supernova. Let's try one; a supernova is as much brighter than the Sun is as the Sun is to a flashlight. A supernova will release as much energy in an hour as a regular star does in its entire 10-billion year life.
What is Betelgeuse going to do when it dies?
Betelgeuse will die in a massive explosion called a supernova. When this happens it will appear brighter than the full moon.
How much brighter is the former than the latter?
The former is 10 times brighter than the latter.
