Betelgeuse does not have any planets in orbit around it. It is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, about 643 light-years away from Earth. It is nearing the end of its life cycle and is expected to explode in a supernova in the future.

What do you call a planet outside the solar system?

A planet: a large body that orbits a star, is called a planet whether it orbits the star that we call the Sun, or whether it orbits the star Betelgeuse.

How can betelgeuse look sso bright if it is far away and has a cool surface?

Several things to consider:-- Because of its ENORMOUS size. We believe that Betelgeuse is about as largeas the orbits of the Asteroid Belt. So if Betelgeuse sat exactly where the sun sits,then Mercury, Venus, the Earth, and Mars would all be inside of it.-- Because it's so close to us. Betelgeuse is roughly 800 light-years from us. That'san enormous distance, but actually pretty close as stars go.-- Because it's so hot. The surface temperature of Betelgeuse is estimated at 3,600 K,which is roughly 3,325° Celsius and 5,960° Fahrenheit. That's pretty cool for a star,but you still wouldn't want to touch it.
