Is the sun larger than Betelgeuse?
No. Betelgeuse has 950-1200 times the diameter of the Sun.
How many earths in Betelgeuse?
The size of Betelgeuse is variable (it pulsates); plus, there are different estimates. But its diameter is approximately 900 times that of our Sun, which in turn is roughly 100 times the diameter of Earth (actually 109, but the data don't justify a very exact calculation), so Betelgeuse has roughly 900 x 100 = 90,000 times the DIAMETER of Earth; the ratio of volumes is that same number, cubed, or (after some rounding) about 700,000,000,000,000 times as much.
Does Betelgeuse emit more or less infrared radiation than the sun?
It's luminosity is 90,000 - 150,000 times that of the Sun, so it's safe to assume that the total amount of infrared radiation will also be more. Since its temperature is lower than that of the Sun, the percentage of infrared radiation should also be higher.
Is Betelgeuse a yellow star?
No, Betelgeuse is a red star.
Is Betelgeuse a dwarf planet?
Betelgeuse is a supergiant star.
How does the size of beteleguse compare to your sun?
Betelgeuse is ENORMOUS as compared to the Sun's size. Its diameter may be 1000 TIMES larger than our sun.
How is the sun compared to the star betelgeuse?
Size-wise, the Sun is to Betelgeuse as the Earth is to the Sun.
How far is Betelgeuse from the sun?
Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years from the sun.
Is Betelgeuse cooler than our sun?
the Betelgeuse is colder than the sun
Which star is bigger sun or Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is much bigger than the Sun.
Does Betelgeuse hold the sun?
No, Betelgeuse is too far away to have any effect on the sun.
Is the sun larger than Betelgeuse?
No. Betelgeuse has 950-1200 times the diameter of the Sun.
Is the sun smaller than Betelgeuse?
Yes, the Sun is much smaller than Betelgeuse.
How many times can the sun fit into Betelgeuse?
With a radius of over 1000 times our sun, the volume of Betelgeuse is over a billion times our sun. So, our sun could fit into Betelgeuse over a billion times.
Is the star Betelgeuse hotter than our sun?
No. The sun is actually hotter than Betelgeuse, but much smaller.
What is the radius of Betelgeuse?
The radius of Betelgeuse is 1180 times the radius of our sun.
What is the mass of Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is about 18 or 19 times the mass of our sun.
