Betelgeuse is a supergiant star that by mass is classified as a high-mass star.

What is a celestial body:

Celestial bodies are natural objects that are a part of the massive universe. Even though the universe has vast expanses of empty space, it is inhibited by them. The following are the 7 categories in which the celestial bodies are classified in:

  • Star
    A star is huge mass of radiating gas which is held together by it's own gravity. They produce their own energy due to nuclear fission reaction process and in turn emit their own light. Varying sizes of stars exist in the universe with the ones emitting blue light being the brightest and youngest, while ones emitting red light being older.
  • Planets
    Planets are celestial bodies that do not emit light of their own. They revolve around a star, have enough gravity to obtain a spherical shape along with being able to omit the presence of other smaller celestial bodies around it.
  • Comet
    They are usually lumps of gases, ice and dust that orbit a star. Comets consist of a nucleus (which contains the ice and dust) and when they come in the vicinity of the sun, a 'tail' of gas and dust particles pointing away from the sun is seen.
  • Satellites
    There are natural and man-made celestial bodies that exist in the universe. They revolve about a planet the same way that planets revolve around the sun. Moon is a satellite of earth and GOES (weather satellite) is a man-made satellite.
  • Meteorite
    They are small, rocky and usually metallic celestial bodies travelling in outer space. A shooting star is an example of a meteorite where the trail of the meteor is visible as it enters the earth.
  • Asteroid
    These are small rocky celestial bodies which are too small to be considered as planets. They revolve about a star and are considered as the remaining parts from the formation of a galaxy.
  • Galaxy
    A galaxy is a combination of huge masses of gas, dust, stars and dark matter that are held together by gravity. Primal example of a galaxy will be the Milky-way galaxy in which our solar system exists.

Thus, as Betelgeuse is a supergiant star that will eventually result in a supernova it is classified as a high-mass star.
