Final answer:

Betelgeuse is larger in size compared to the sun and has a cooler surface but a hotter core.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compared to the sun, the star Betelgeuse is larger in size. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant, which means it has a much larger radius and a cooler surface compared to the Sun. Although Betelgeuse is cooler on its surface, it has a much hotter core.
