We do not know for sure, but if you're worried about the "supposed" supernova explosion of this star in 2012, I assure you it will remain at around 640 light-years away from us, which is certainly a safe distance.
No, Betelgeuse is not the closest star to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is part of our solar system. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, approximately 642.5 light years away from Earth.
Betelgeuse is approximately 600 light years from Earth.
The closest star to Betelgeuse is approximately 643 light-years away. This star is located in the star cluster known as the Orion Nebula, where it is part of a group of young, hot stars.
Betelgeuse is approximately 642.5 light years away from Earth.
well my reason is that the betelgeuse must be very large , because they said that the betelgeuse is located far from earth .

Polaris is the closest of the three stars.
The largest star closest to Earth is Betelgeuse, which is located in the constellation of Orion and is approximately 500-600 light-years away. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star, about 1,400 times larger than our Sun.
Betelgeuse and Alpha Centauri are both prominent stars in the night sky. They are relatively close to Earth in astronomical terms, with Betelgeuse being a red supergiant in the constellation of Orion, while Alpha Centauri is a triple star system closest to our solar system.

Brightnest is a factor of luminousity and distance as seen from Earth. (Apparent magnitude)Vega - 0.03.Betelgeuse: 0.42So Betelgeuse is brighter as viewed from Earth.
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.
After a supernova explosion in Betelgeuse it will definitely become at least a neutron star. However, because of it's mass it's more than likely to become a black hole. If it does, then it will be the closest black hole to Earth.
