The table shows some properties of three stars. Which conclusion is correct based on the star data? Options: Rigel is the hottest, so it looks the dimmest from Earth. The sun has the smallest diameter, so it looks the smallest from Earth. Betelgeuse is farthest from Earth, so it looks the largest from Earth. The sun is closest to Earth, so it looks the brightest from Earth.
