Rigel, has a surface temperature of 12100 K, approx 3.1 times as hot as Aldebaran (3910 K).
your mom is hotter than all the stars combined!
Rigel: 71 solar radiiAldebaran: 44.2 solar radii.So Rigel is almost twice the size of Aldebaran.See related link for a pictorial of the difference (Section 5).
No, Rigel is hotter than Betelgeuse. Rigel is a blue supergiant star with a surface temperature of around 12,000 Kelvin, while Betelgeuse is a red supergiant with a surface temperature of around 3,500 Kelvin.
No, Rigel is hotter than the Sun. Rigel is a blue supergiant star with a surface temperature that is much hotter than the Sun.
Yes, Vega is hotter than Rigel. Vega is a main sequence star with a surface temperature of around 9600 K, while Rigel is a supergiant star with a surface temperature of around 12,100 K.

yes
You can tell if Rigel or Betelgeuse is hotter based on their color. Rigel appears blue-white, indicating a hotter temperature, while Betelgeuse appears orange-red, suggesting a cooler temperature. Additionally, the spectral class of Rigel (B8Ia) is hotter than Betelgeuse's spectral class (M1-2Ia).
no you are stupid if you are answering this
Rigel appears as bright as Betelgeuse because it is hotter and more luminous, even though it is smaller. The luminosity of a star depends on both its temperature and size, so a hotter, more luminous star can shine as brightly as a larger, cooler star.
In terms of size from smallest to largest, its Sirius, Pollux, Aldebaran, Rigel, Betelgeuse, Antares, and KY Cygni.
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.
Aldebaran has a higher luminosity and a lower surface temperature than the Sun. Rigel has a higher luminosity but a higher surface temperature than the Sun. Bernard's Star and Alpha Centauri have lower luminosity and higher surface temperatures compared to the Sun.
