Comment on Sun's surface seen in new detailparent

Comments

If our sun was replaced by Betelgeuse, the earth would be inside the star:

    sun diameter = 1.3927 million km
    Betelgeuse diameter = 1.234 billion km
    Betelgeuse diameter / sun diameter = 886 > 100
The size of these stars is beyond mind boggling.
