Betelgeuse's distance from Earth according to various well-respected astronomical agencies is between 310 and 640 light years. Taking an average of the ten measurements that I've dug out the average is 480 light years.
As I'm writing this from England and the distance to Betelgeuse is taken from the Equator, it's average distance is actually 480 light years PLUS 3,521miles!
