Betelgeuse is 640 light-years away from the Earth.
1 light-year is the distance traveled by light in 1 year.
speed of light = 3 x 108 meters per second
So, 1 ly = 3 x 108 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 9.46 x 1015 meters
640 light-years = 640 x 9.46 x 1015 = 6.05 x 1018 meters
1 meter = 0.621 x 10-3 miles
640 light-years = 6.05 x 1018 x 0.621 x 10-3 = 3.76 x 1015 miles
That is 3,760,000,000,000,000 miles.
Betelgeuse is approximately 642.5 light-years away from Earth.
Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years away from Earth.
70 miles
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
The sun is about 93,000,000 miles from earth.
well my reason is that the betelgeuse must be very large , because they said that the betelgeuse is located far from earth .

Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years away from Earth.
Betelgeuse is a red supergiant in the constellation Orion. It is approximately 640 light years from us.
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.
Betelgeuse has a diameter of approximately 700 million miles.
It's estimated to be about 640 light years away. However there's still a lot of uncertainty over the exact distance.

If I wrote out that distance in miles, there would probably be more digits than I could fit in this typing box. If you measure it in light years instead, I think it is a few hundred of those.
Betelgeuse is approximately 600 light years from Earth.
No, Betelgeuse is too far away to have any effect on the sun.
