Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion. It is estimated to be around 950-1,200 times larger in diameter than our Sun, which in turn is about 109 times larger in diameter than Earth. Therefore, Betelgeuse is significantly larger than Earth.
No. It does not have enough mass. Only stars 8 times the mass of the sun or greater can become neutron stars. The sun will become a white dwarf.
Blue stars are hotter than red stars because they have higher surface temperatures. The color of a star is determined by its surface temperature, with blue stars having temperatures of 10,000 K or higher, while red stars have temperatures around 3,000 K. Higher temperatures in blue stars result in more energetic radiation, appearing blue to our eyes.
As a star ages, it fuses lighter elements like hydrogen and helium into heavier elements through nuclear fusion in its core. This process changes the star's composition, enriching it with elements like carbon, oxygen, and eventually even heavier elements up to iron. At the end of its life cycle, a star may experience a supernova explosion, dispersing these newly created elements back into space.
No. The Sun was never a planet, and the Sun will never turn into a planet. In about 5 billion years, the Sun will expand into a red giant star. It will last that way for another billion or so years, and then slowly shrink down into a brown dwarf star.
A star will die once it runs out of hydrogen. If the star is larger than 5 times the size of our sun, it will turn into a supernova while the rest of the material is condensed into a black hole. If the star was smaller, it will just turn into a white dwarf.
There is no solution. 1.4 times the smaller is less than 1.5 times the smaller which, in turn, is less than 1.5 times the larger. 1.4 times the smaller is, therefore, smaller than 1.5 times the larger and certainly not 3 more than 1.5 times the larger.

Pluto has never turned into a star. It is a dwarf planet located in our solar system, but it does not have the necessary mass and conditions to undergo nuclear fusion and become a star.
it would depend if the star was a red giant or a super red giant and if it is 1000X larger than a red giant then it would turn into a black hole. some people think that the star at the center of the galxy is a black hole (but don't woury the solar system is at the rim of the galixy)
Stars with larger masses have stronger gravity; this results in more pressure; which in turn makes the star hotter. As a result of the higher temperature, they will shine brighter, and burn their fuel much faster.
it depends on the mass. If the star is small and it dies then it will turn into a red giant then a white dwarf. But if the star has enough mass and is bigger than any other star then it will collapse and turn into a black hole.
When a star three times bigger than the sun will die, or run out of fuel, it will explode into a bang called a super nova. After that everything depends on the mass of the left out core. If the core is not very very dense it will turn into a neutron star, the densest stars in the universe, and will keep on shinning and pulsating beams of radiation throughout its lifetime until something big happens.
Jump on the faucet a few times.
A star 'turns on' when it becomes large enough that there is enough pressure squeezing its insides to start a nuclear reaction. The pressure comes from gravity of the mass of the star. the planet Jupiter could become a star if it got significantly larger.
No. Our Sun isn't massive enough to go supernova, or to turn into a black hole. A star needs to be more than 3 times more massive than our Sun in order to become a black hole.
