How is the sun and red dwarf different?
1. The sun is bigger then the red dwarf.2. The sun produces bright electric-like light unlike the red dwarfs dim elctric-like light.3. The sun is highly recognized in our solar system, but the red dwarf is not.
Why the color of dwarf star is red?
Only a red dwarf star is red. Our Sun is a yellow dwarf. A red dwarf is red because it is cool, and cool colours are red whereas hot colours are white and blue.
How much will the sun engulf as a red giant?
The sun is not a red giant. It is a yellow dwarf star
What are the names of red dwarf stars?
There are billions of red dwarf stars. I will name just one and it's the nearest star (apart from the Sun). That red dwarf star is the famous "Proxima Centauri".

What is the order from smallest to largest sun supernova red giant white dwarf?
White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova
How is proxima centauri similar and different from the sun?
Proxima Centauri is a "red dwarf" star. Its composition is similar to the Sun, but with less mass and it's much smaller than the Sun. It has lower core and surface temperatures. The Sun will eventually start to use helium as well as hydrogen as its fuel It will become a red giant then a white dwarf. Red dwarfs don't have a high enough core temperature to use helium as as "fuel". Proxima Centauri will not become a red giant. It will go straight to the white dwarf stage, once it has used up its hydrogen "fuel".
Why the color of dwarf star is red?
Only a red dwarf star is red. Our Sun is a yellow dwarf. A red dwarf is red because it is cool, and cool colours are red whereas hot colours are white and blue.
What is the closest red dwarf to the sun?

Does the sun have a twin?
Yes. A red dwarf
How much will the sun engulf as a red giant?
The sun is not a red giant. It is a yellow dwarf star
Is a giant Alpha Centauri?
No. Alpha Centauri is a three-star system consisting of two stars similar in size to the sun and a red dwarf.
Is a red dwarf star most stars?
Red dwarf stars are the commonest stars, at least in the region of space around our Sun.
What does a red dwarf sun burn?
Like all main sequence stars, a red dwarf is powered by the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
How big is a red star?
It can range from 0.25 that of the Sun in a red dwarf to over 2,000 times that of the Sun in a hypergiant.
