Is the sun larger than Betelgeuse?
No. Betelgeuse has 950-1200 times the diameter of the Sun.
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.
Is Betelgeuse bigger than Jupiter?
Betelgeuse is a red super giant, relatively luminous, and one of the largest stars known. For comparison, if the star were at the center of our solar system its surface might extend out to between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, wholly engulfing Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Astronomers believe Betelgeuse is only a few million years old, but has evolved rapidly because of its high mass.Betelgeuse is one of the most luminous stars known. It is a red giant expected to go supernova possibly within the next one million years. It has been known for over two hundred years as a very "restless" star, varying in brightness, and varying in diameter, too (it is difficult to give an exact measurement for the star, because it is constantly changing).Betelgeuse is a red super-giant star "relatively" close to Earth; ONLY 640 light years away.The larger the star, the more quickly it dies. Betelgeuse is very young as stars go, less than ten million years old. It will most likely die in a supernova explosion within the next few thousand years; in fact, it may have already done so, and the light of that explosion could be on the way. When this happens, Betelgeuse will be brighter than the full moon. Considering its probable fate, we wouldn't want it to be any closer!Betelgeuse is easily visible; it is the red star in the shoulder of Orion.See related questions.
Why is Jupiter in the night sky brighter than betelgeuse?
Jupiter is brighter than Betelgeuse in the night sky because it is much closer to the Earth in comparison to Betelgeuse(Betelgeuse is more than 500 lightyears away form the Earth). This way, Jupiter appears larger than Betelgeuse, and celestial objects that appear larger also appear brighter than objects that appear small.
What star in Orion has the largest radius?
Saturn has the largest radius followed by Jupiter.The Equatorial radius of Saturn (not the rings) is about 60,268 kmThe Equatorial radius of Jupiter (not his rings) is about 71,492 kmso Jupiter is larger
Is betelgeuse bigger than baranrd's star?
Betelgeuse is one of the larger stars, while Barnard's star is just a little red dwarf star. So, yes- Betelgeuse is far larger than Barnard's.

Many stars are bigger, but Betelgeuse is one of them, a red giant.
What star is bigger betelgeuse or aldebaran?
Betelgeuse is bigger than Aldebaran. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star, while Aldebaran is an orange giant star. Betelgeuse is one of the largest stars known, with a diameter around 1,000 times larger than the Sun.
What is a star that is much larger than the sun?

Which is larger Rigel or Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is larger than Rigel. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a diameter about 1,180 times that of the Sun, while Rigel is a blue supergiant with a diameter roughly 79 times that of the Sun.
What are the stars called bigger than the sun?
Stars larger than the sun are classified as giant or supergiant stars. Examples include Betelgeuse and Rigel in the constellation Orion. These stars have significantly larger masses, luminosities, and radii compared to the sun.
Is betelgeuse one of the biggest stars known?
No. Currently UY Scuti is the star estimated to be the biggest, but we are not very sure of their size; beside UY Scuti, VY Canis Majoris and a few other stars are also larger than Betelgeuse.
Is the sun larger than Betelgeuse?
No. Betelgeuse has 950-1200 times the diameter of the Sun.
How many miles is Betelgeuse larger than the sun?
Betelgeuse is approximately 900 times larger in diameter than the sun, about 1.5 billion kilometers.
How many times larger is Betelgeuse in terms of diameter than Rigel?
Betelgeuse is around 10 times greater in diameter than Rigel.
