Betelgeuse is not located in the solar system.
Astronomers have had a lot of trouble trying to measure the distance to Betelgeuse,
and their conclusions have varied over a wide range. The best estimate now for the
distance to Betelgeuse is 640 light years.
That's a little over 40 million times as far from us as the Sun is.
Betelgeuse is also interesting in another way ... its size. It may be the largest star known.
It's estimated that if our Sun were at the center of Betelgeuse, then the orbits of Mercury,
Venus, Earth, Mars, and possibly Jupiter and the asteroid belt, would also be inside that star.
No planet could ever come close to the size of Betelgeuse.
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.
1180 solar radius
No. Betelgeuse is in Orion.
If Betelgeuse replaced our Sun, it would likely cause drastic changes in our solar system. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star, much larger and hotter than our Sun, so Earth would be too close to it and would likely be engulfed by the star's expanded outer layers. The intense radiation and heat would also have significant effects on the other planets in our solar system.
No. Betelgeuse is a star well outside of the solar system.
No planet could ever come close to the size of Betelgeuse.
No, Beetlejuice (also known as Betelgeuse) is not in our solar system. It is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion. Our solar system includes the Sun, planets, and other celestial bodies that orbit around it.
Rigel, Betelgeuse. Comment: They are two of my favourite stars, but they aren't in the Solar System. There's only the Sun that's a star in our Solar System.
Well for shore the biggest star in our solar system is called "Betelgeuse" not many people know how hot Betelgeuse is!
No, Mars is a red rocky planet in our solar system, Betelgeuse is a red giant star about 640 light years away.
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 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.
