The star Betelgeuse is 20 times more massive than the sun. What would be the likely impact on the motion of Earth if the sun were replaced by Betelgeuse? Orbital radius would increase because the gravitational pull would decrease. Orbital radius would decrease because the gravitational pull would increase. Orbital velocity would decrease because the gravitational pull would increase. Orbital velocity would increase because the gravitational pull would decrease.
