  2. Its amazing how much information can be found very quickly on any astronomy site - even wikipedia has this kind of data.

    Rigel: radius is 70 solar radii

    Procyon B: radius is 1.86 solar radii.

    Sun's radius: 6.955 x 10^8 meters.

    To get the radii of these stars in meters, multiply the sun's radius by these numbers.

  3. Rigel A's radius is about 54 million kilometers. It is a blue supergiant.

    Procyon B's radius is about 8600 kilometers. It's a white dwarf.

    Zerowant was right about Procyon B's radius but wrong about Rigel's radius. Lindajune was right about Rigel's radius but wrong about Procyon B's radius.

  4. Procyon B is about 8,600 kilometers in radius (or 8,600,000 meters).

    Rigel is about 695,500 kilometers in radius (or 695,500,000 meters)
