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.

What would happen if Betelgeuse was your solar system star?

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.
