Rigel is a binary star system. It was discovered by F.G.W. Struve in 1831. It is the third brightest star system in the night sky.
It is 754.81 milliarcseconds. Also, the star is Rigil Kentaurus, not Rigel which is the name of another star.
The star Rigel was named by the Arabic astronomers. Rigel is derived from the Arabic word "rijl" which means "foot," as it represents the foot of the Orion constellation.
There is more than one star in the Rigel "system". The main star, in terms of brightness, is Rigel A. That has a surface temperature of about 12,000 degrees Celsius.
Rigel is a blue supergiant star with a radius about 78 times larger than the Sun. If we assume that Earth's radius is 1/100th of the Sun's radius, then you could fit about 608,400 Earths inside Rigel.
Vega and Rigel are the names of two prominent stars in the night sky. Vega is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra and is known for its bluish-white color. Rigel is the brightest star in the constellation Orion and is a supergiant star with a distinct blue hue.
