An object that is ten thousand times brighter than Rigel would have an apparent magnitude of about -6. Rigel has an apparent magnitude of about 0.1, so an object that is ten thousand times brighter would be much more luminous and appear as a very bright object in the night sky.
No, which means that Rigel appears brighter.
Betelgeuse has an apparent magnitude of 0.42(v) and an absolute magnitude of -6.02. Rigel has an apparent magnitude of 0.12 and an absolute magnitude of -7.04. So Rigel is brighter.
Yes, Rigel has a greater magnitude than Sirius. Rigel has an apparent magnitude of around 0.12, making it one of the brightest stars in the night sky, while Sirius has an apparent magnitude of about -1.46, making it the brightest star in the night sky.
Sirius, which means that Rigel is brighter.
Rigel is the brightest star in the constellation Orion.It has an apparent magnitude of 0.18 and an absolute magnitude of -6.7

The absolute magnitude of Rigel is -7.92 while that of Aldebaran is -6.41. This means that Rigel is approx 4 times brighter than Aldebaran - technically. So the question is based on a flawed grasp of absolute magnitude.

I'm not sure exactly what detail you want, but here's a start. Rigel is a triple star system. The main star of the three is a very luminous star. It is a blue supergiant star.
The nearest would be Rigel with an apparent magnitude of +0.12.
Rigel has a luminosity of 66,000 times greater than our Sun.However, in apparent magnitude (Brightness) it has a magnitude of 0.18 whereas the Sun is -26.73.
Rigel is the brightest star in Orion and the sixth brightest star in the sky, with an apparent magnitude of 0.18.
Rigel has an apparent magnitude of around 0.12, making it one of the brightest stars in the sky. Its absolute magnitude, which measures intrinsic brightness, is around -7.0, indicating its high luminosity.
Sirius has a lower absolute magnitude than Rigel. Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the sky with an absolute magnitude of 1.42, while Rigel has an absolute magnitude of -8.1, making it much brighter than Sirius.
