Words Without Words [1] Trivia Quiz

Answer: Leg

Answer: Orion

One of the stars found in Orion, Betelgeuse is the second-brightest in the entire constellation and the eighth-brightest in the sky. A supergiant, Betelgeuse is much larger than our own sun. The other stars in Orion are Rigel and Bellatrix, the former of which is brighter than Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse is over six hundred forty lightyears away from Earth but, if it were to become a supernova, scientists say it would still affect our planet. None of the stars mentioned here are a part of Orion's Belt- those would be Mintaka, Alnilam, and Alnitak.
