About 8.6 light-years
or
8.6 yrs x 365 days/1 yr=3139 days * 24 hr/1day=75,336 hrs *60 secs/1hr=4520160 secs * c (speed of light 186,000 miles/sec)=84,749,760,000,000 miles from Earth.......(or how much our country with be in debt by 2020 LOL )
Yes it is much bigger.Probably 5 suns can fit in sirius.Not only is sirius bigger but it is much hotter as well.
Sirius is a star therfore is doesnt orbit. Furthermore sirius is to distant for us to obtain such information.
Rigel is approximately ten times LARGER than Sirius
Your 152 million kilometers is 152,000 megameters.
if you are talking about the distance from start to finish, then you can't have an answer because nobody knows. It goes on into space. If you are talking about the distance from the Earth, then it is about 500km...
Sirius is approximately 2.6 parsecs or 8.6 light years away from Earth.
Capella is about 42.2 light-years away from Earth, while Sirius is about 8.6 light-years away. Therefore, Capella is approximately 4.9 times larger in terms of distance from Earth than Sirius.
Despite being more intrinsically luminous than Sirius, Rigel appears dimmer in the sky due to its greater distance from Earth compared to Sirius. The brightness of a star as seen from Earth is influenced by both its intrinsic luminosity and its distance from us.
No. Sirius is the brightest star in Earth's night sky, but how bright a star appears is a product of its actual brightness and its distance from us. Sirius itself is actually two stars with Sirius A emitting the vast majority of the system's light. Sirius A is a fairly large star, but others are much larger.
The distance from Earth to Sirius is the reciprocal of its parallax angle, so it would be 1 / 0.377 = 2.654 parsecs away.
Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, is located around 8.6 light-years away from Earth. In kilometers, this distance is approximately 81 trillion kilometers.
No. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Polaris is much farther down the list.
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky because of its proximity to Earth, at a distance of only 8.6 light-years. It is a hot, luminous star that appears bright due to its intrinsic brightness and close distance to us. Sirius is also a binary star system, with a smaller companion star (Sirius B) that adds to its overall brightness.
About 2 minutes through a wormhole - you turn left at Betelgeuse and then take a right at Sirius.
Towards Earth, at 7.6 km/sec. They say that in the future, we might be in "Sirius" trouble - but the fact is that Sirius doesn't move exactly towards Earth; there is also a sideways movement, so Sirius would miss us.
No. There is no such thing as an "earth-like star" as Earth is a planet, not a star. Sirius A is a star that is larger and brighter than the sun.
One example of a white star is Sirius, which is the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius is part of the constellation Canis Major and is located relatively close to Earth at a distance of about 8.6 light-years.
