Does Orion have any prominent stars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Orion is the most prominent constellation in the sky, so it has lots of prominent stars. Two in particular stand out. They are Rigel and Betelgeuse. Rigel is a very bright star in the bottom right corner, the brightest star in Orion. In the top left is Betelgeuse, also very bright but noticeably different in colour to Rigel, as it is a red giant star.

Orion is not a star, it is a constellation. Being a constellation, it has many stars in it. It has been a recognised constellation since humans first looked at the night sky, thousands of years ago.

First of all it is important to know that finding exact distance between stars is a very complex and inaccurate process. That said the distance between our sun and Betelgeues star is 640 light years give or take 143 light years. :)

yep its very inaccurate.

In miles 640 lightyears turn out to be 3784292189032320000 miles

What time will Orion rise November 29?

Asked by Wiki User

That will depend on where in the world you are. A number of websites, such as HeavensAbove, will allow you to see what the night sky looks like at a certain time and date, from your location. You also have to be clear as to what you mean when you say what time will it rise. It takes it some time to rise, from when the first part of it appears until it is all above the horizon, so you may want to measure your time at when you can see it in full. There are also other problems, like if you can see the horizon. So if you have to wait for it to rise over some other obstacles, it will obviously be later to see it rise in full, than if you have a clear view of the horizon.

Is the Orion belt inhabited?

Asked by Wiki User

Do those stars have planets which have people? How would we know? Best guess, though, is no, they don't. Reason: those stars are giants; they burn out in a (cosmically) brief time, so Life, which took 3+ billion years to get to us, just wouldn't have that amount of time to develop.
