What is the hydrogen consumption rate of Betelgeuse?

Asked by Brian1946 (32271points) August 5th, 2016

It’s my understanding that the Sun’s consumption rate is 600 million tons per second, and the Juice is way bigger than our star.

If you ask this question out loud 3 times while looking in a mirror, will you spontaneously combust?

Should this be in the General Section?

I figure I’m going to get so few answers either way that I may as well leave it in social.
If I was asking about a certain unnamed gas giant that rotates on an approximately horizontal axis, then I might have considered putting it in general. ;-)

One celestial body’s horizontal is another’s vertical. It’s all relative. Pass the potatoes.

It is bigger than the sun and so has burned up its hydrogen much more quickly. As I understand it there is none left
