What else can I help you with?
Is the sun larger than Betelgeuse?
No. Betelgeuse has 950-1200 times the diameter of the Sun.
What is the largest star closes to the earth?
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.
Does Betelgeuse emit more or less infrared radiation than the sun?
It's luminosity is 90,000 - 150,000 times that of the Sun, so it's safe to assume that the total amount of infrared radiation will also be more. Since its temperature is lower than that of the Sun, the percentage of infrared radiation should also be higher.
How many earths in Betelgeuse?
The size of Betelgeuse is variable (it pulsates); plus, there are different estimates. But its diameter is approximately 900 times that of our Sun, which in turn is roughly 100 times the diameter of Earth (actually 109, but the data don't justify a very exact calculation), so Betelgeuse has roughly 900 x 100 = 90,000 times the DIAMETER of Earth; the ratio of volumes is that same number, cubed, or (after some rounding) about 700,000,000,000,000 times as much.
How big is a star compared to the earth?
Stars are significantly larger than Earth. For example, the Sun's diameter is about 109 times that of Earth. Larger stars, such as Betelgeuse, can be hundreds or even thousands of times larger than the Sun.
How does the size of beteleguse compare to your sun?
Betelgeuse is ENORMOUS as compared to the Sun's size. Its diameter may be 1000 TIMES larger than our sun.
How far is Betelgeuse from the sun?
Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years from the sun.
Is Betelgeuse cooler than our sun?
the Betelgeuse is colder than the sun
Which star is bigger sun or Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is much bigger than the Sun.
Does Betelgeuse hold the sun?
No, Betelgeuse is too far away to have any effect on the sun.
Is the sun smaller than Betelgeuse?
Yes, the Sun is much smaller than Betelgeuse.
Is the sun larger than Betelgeuse?
No. Betelgeuse has 950-1200 times the diameter of the Sun.
What is the mass of Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is about 18 or 19 times the mass of our sun.
Is the star Betelgeuse hotter than our sun?
No. The sun is actually hotter than Betelgeuse, but much smaller.
How many times can the sun fit into Betelgeuse?
With a radius of over 1000 times our sun, the volume of Betelgeuse is over a billion times our sun. So, our sun could fit into Betelgeuse over a billion times.
How is the sun compared to the star betelgeuse?
The Sun and Betelgeuse are both stars, but they differ significantly in size and characteristics. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, while the Sun is a yellow dwarf star at the center of our solar system. Betelgeuse is much larger and more luminous than the Sun, with a diameter around 1,000 times that of the Sun. Additionally, Betelgeuse is much closer to the end of its life cycle compared to the Sun.
Is Betelgeuse warmer than the sun?
No. While Betelgeuse is larger and brighter than the sun, it actually has a lower surface temperature.
