Comment: That's a reasonable number, but there's a lot of uncertainty over the exact distance, so it's a bit misleading to give such a precise answer.

Why does a star such as betelgeuse which is located far from earth have a much greater absolute magnitude than apparent magnitude?
well my reason is that the betelgeuse must be very large , because they said that the betelgeuse is located far from earth .

Is Betelgeuse going to destroy earth?
No. Some time in the next million years Betelgeuse will explode as a supernova, but it is too far away from us to damage the earth. All we will see is Betelgeuse getting a lot brighter in the night sky.
How far is Betelgeuse from the sun?
Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years from the sun.
Which star is brighter Vega or Betelgeuse?
Brightnest is a factor of luminousity and distance as seen from Earth. (Apparent magnitude)Vega - 0.03.Betelgeuse: 0.42So Betelgeuse is brighter as viewed from Earth.

Does Betelgeuse hold the sun?
No, Betelgeuse is too far away to have any effect on the sun.
How is the sun compared to the star betelgeuse?
Size-wise, the Sun is to Betelgeuse as the Earth is to the Sun.
When Betelgeuse explodes how will the Earth be affected?
We will have a pretty sight in the night sky. When it explodes, Betelgeuse is predicted to be almost as bright as a full moon in our night sky for a few weeks. Scientists will also learn a lot about supernovas, from being able to observe one happening relatively close. But, Betelgeuse is too far away to do any damage to Earth.
How big is Betelgeuse compared to Earth?
Betelgeuse is about 1,180 times larger the Sun. So Betelgeuse is about 128,620 times bigger than Earth. So as a rough approximation about 2,127,774,087,928,000 Earths could fit into Betelgeuse. That's 2 quadrillion.
How Many astronomical units is the sun from Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is 40,473,416.93376 AU' (Astronomical Units) from Earth.
How many light years away is betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is approximately 600 light years from Earth.
