some, but not much. the principle componant of a red giant's core is helium. lithium is not a product of stellar nuclear reactions, so any lithium in a star would have been there from when the gas cloud collapsed into a protostar.
The oldest stars are typically red dwarfs, which are small, cool, and faint stars that have long lifespans. White dwarfs are the remnant cores of low to medium mass stars, not the oldest. Giant stars are intermediate stage stars that have evolved away from the main sequence.
When compared to the other stars, the Red Giant Star are very minute. There are other stars that are very large by far as compared to the Red giant stars.
Red dwarfs have much lower mass compared to stars that become giants. Their mass is not sufficient to trigger the fusion of heavier elements in their cores, leading to the expansion and eventual evolution into giant stars. Additionally, red dwarfs undergo a different fusion process (proton-proton chain) compared to heavier stars, which prevents them from reaching giant sizes.
No, red giant stars are not the largest stars in the universe. There are stars known as supergiant and hypergiant stars that are even larger than red giants. These stars can be hundreds to thousands of times larger than our Sun.

In stars.
Main sequence stars, like the Sun, fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores, maintaining a stable balance between gravitational collapse and nuclear fusion. In contrast, red giant stars have exhausted hydrogen in their cores and have expanded significantly, fusing helium and other heavier elements in shells around the core. This results in a cooler surface temperature, giving red giants their characteristic reddish hue, while main sequence stars typically have a hotter, brighter appearance. Additionally, red giants are much larger and more luminous than their main sequence counterparts.
when Dwarf Stars run out of hydrogen they form Red Giant stars, then from that they become White dwarf stars when the outer layers shed, forming a planetary nebula.when giant stars or supergiant stars run out of hydrogen they form red supergiant stars
Red stars are usually giant stars that are on the brink of death. It is said to be on its last stages of stellar evolution.
No, but it DID come from an exploding supernova star! Every atom heavier than lithium has been created in the cores of stars. And if it isn't still in the star, then the star must have exploded to release it.
Not easily. It is an element which is only formed in nova and supernova explosions. It is also produced in red giant stars after they have exhausted their hydrogen cores. Finally, it is produced by radioactive decay of iodine, uranium and plutonium.
In the constellation Cetus, there are several red giant stars. These are stars that have exhausted their core hydrogen and expanded in size. One notable red giant in Cetus is Menkar, also known as Alpha Ceti.
