As an early M-type supergiant, Betelgeuse is one of the largest, most luminous and yet one of the most ethereal stars known. A radius of 5.5 AU is roughly 7003118000000000000â 1180 times the radius of the Sunâable to contain over 2 quadrillion Earths (2.15 Ã 1015) or more than 1.6 billion (1.65 Ã 109) Suns.
Quick Answer. Betelgeuse is 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the sun, measuring an effective temperature of 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit compared to the sun's 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite its lower temperature, Betelgeuse's diameter of 600 million miles is around 700 times the diameter of the sun.
