Best Answer

Sirius and Betelgeuse are two of the brightest stars in the night sky, with Sirius being the brightest and Betelgeuse being the 9th brightest. Betelgeuse is in the wonderful constellation of Orion. Sirius is in the nearby constellation of Canis Major. They are very easy to spot, with Betelgeuse being at the top left of Orion and Sirius, being below and to the left of Orion, with Orion's Belt acting as a good way of pointing towards it. Comparing the two it is also easy to notice the difference in colour as Betelgeuse is a red supergiant and looks reddish in colour, very different to Sirius.
