If Deneb and Rigel were located at Alpha Centauri's distance from earth how would they appear?

If Deneb and Rigel were placed at Alpha Centauri's distance from Earth (about 4.37 light-years away), they would appear as extremely bright stars in the sky, similar to our Sun. Deneb, a distant supergiant star, would still shine brightly but not as brightly as the Sun. Rigel, a blue supergiant, would appear much brighter than Deneb due to its larger size and luminosity.

Why does rigel shine as brightly as betelgeuse even though rigel is much smaller than betelgeuse?

Rigel appears as bright as Betelgeuse because it is closer to Earth than Betelgeuse, even though Rigel is smaller and less luminous. The brightness of a star is determined by both its luminosity and distance from Earth, so a smaller, closer star can appear just as bright as a larger, more distant one.

No. Rigel is more than 70 times larger.


Why does Rigel shine as bright as Betelgeuse even though Rigel is much smaller than Betelgeuse?

Rigel appears as bright as Betelgeuse because it is hotter and more luminous, even though it is smaller. The luminosity of a star depends on both its temperature and size, so a hotter, more luminous star can shine as brightly as a larger, cooler star.
