Vega appears brighter than Arcturus in the night sky because it is closer to Earth, being only about 25 light-years away compared to Arcturus which is around 37 light-years away. Additionally, Vega is a hotter and more luminous star compared to Arcturus, contributing to its perceived brightness.
Arcturus has an absolute magnitude of -0.29 and an apparent magnitude of -0.04
No. Arcturus is believed to be a single star.
the combined diameter of Mars and its moons is 6,805 kilometers, or 39% larger than Mercury, 56% the size of Venus, 53% the size of the moon, 5% the diameter of Jupiter, 6% the diameter of Saturn, 13% the diameter of Uranus, and 14% the diameter of Neptune.
I think it is 500km in diameter but I am not sure
Mira, thuban or Arcturus are some examples. Giants are around 10 to 100 times larger than our own sun (by diameter). Supergiants and hypergiants are bigger still.

Arcturus is orange in color, and has a mass of 2.188E30 kg. Vega has an apparent magnitude of 0.03, a white color, and the size is unknown. Comments. That answer does not fully answer the question. For example there's nothing about Polaris.

Arcturus
Arcturus is in class A.
It is a red giant, 22 million miles in diameter or 35.7 million Kilometers. which is 25.7 times that of the sun and 2/3 the radius of of Mercury's orbit! The difference in size between our Sun and Arcturus would be, if the sun were the size of a BB, Arcturus would be larger than a soft ball about 4.5" or 113mm. Arcturus puts out more than 110 times as much light as the sun and is 36 light years away which is rather close, making it the third brightest star in the sky.As large as it is there are stars far larger! The largest known star is Pistol. If Arcturus were a BB then Pistol would be a soccer ball and the sun would be a grain of sand! Pistol puts out an unbelievable 10 million times the light of the sun! It is very dim to us because it is 25,000 light years away and is in a cloud of nebula dust. Our sun would not be visible at all at that distance.
Arcturus is the Zenith Star of the Hawaiian Islands
No, Arcturus is a red giant star, not a nebula.
A Voyage to Arcturus was created in 1920.

Arcturus is a red giant and the brightest star in the constellation Boötes.It has a spectral type of K1 and will have a colour of orange to orange yellow.It is approximately 37 light years from us.See related link for a size comparison to our Sun.
