∙ 13y agoI can't tell if your reffering to the smaller star, the blue giant or if your talking about the blue supergiant. I will explain the latter. They have 10-50 solar masses. The biggest known blue supergiant is 50 times larger then the sun, in terms of size.

∙ 14y agoThe theoretical maximum mass that a star can have is about 150 times the mass of our Sun. Anything larger, and the fierceness of the solar radiation would push the excess mass away.
A star that's 150 times the mass of our Sun will be about a thousand times larger in diameter. If such as star were placed in the center of our solar system, it would swallow up Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars and the asteroid belt.
Very massive stars burn hotter and brighter, are much larger and consume their hydrogen fuel far more quickly that the Sun does. Our Sun is about 4.5 billion years old, and we expect it to continue to shine much as it does now for another 4 billion years or so. A super-massive star will form, shine very brightly for a few million years or less, and die spectacularly in a supernova explosion that will leave behind a "black hole in space", a place where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from it.
Betelgeuse is a very massive supergiant star, about 10 million years old. It is already approaching the end of its life, and will probably go supernova within the span of humanity.

∙ 14y agoDepends on its mass, really. But in general, since they use their fuel much slower than our Sun for example, a red dwarf may continue shining for a trillion years, or even for several trillion years - much, much longer than the current age of the Universe.

∙ 13y agoAll stars are different but a blue giant will only "live" for about a couple of million years. Our Sun will "live" for about 10 billion years.

∙ 14y agoA supergiant star is based on size not colour.
A supergiant can be any colour from the main sequence, from red, the coolest, all the way up to blue for the hottest

What do we call a large family of millions of stars?
Red giants. By the way, what if it was a white star.
Are all red giants Cepheid Variables?
No.
What is a red giants core called?
it is called the photoflare
How do red giants form?
A star might begin to die after its main sequence. It'll balloon to a very big size. They're called red giants because the star is big and red. A red giant can die, though. Red giants die when their surface sheds into a cloud called a planetary nebula. Its core becomes a white dwarf. Our sun will go through this path.
What Star Expands After Exhausting Its Hydrogen Fuel?
Red Giants:)
Are red giant stars the largest?
Yes red giants are the largest. But the bigger stars of red giants can be called red hyper giants.
Which are hotter white dwarfs or red giants?
red giants
Are there different types of red giants?
Yes, there are. The classic red giants that come from sun- like stars, and red supergiants come from blue giants.
Are red giants or blue giants bigger?
Generally red giants are bigger, but really it has more to do with how hot they burn. Blue giants burn hotter and have more mass.
How big are Red Giants?
Red Giants are 20 to 100 times bigger than the Sun.
Is there such thing as a red star?
Yes. The lowest mass stars are red dwarfs while many older stars turn into red giants and red supergiants.
Which of these stars produces the most light?
Well light wise the highest category would be blue giants, red giants, and super red giants.
What do we call a large family of millions of stars?
Red giants. By the way, what if it was a white star.
Where are white dwarfs supeegiants and red giants?
White Dwarfs, Supergiants, and Red Giants are stars that are found in the sky.
New York Giants red jerseys?
Yes, Giants alternate jerseys or pracitce QB jerseys are red.
If a star is more massive than your sun what colour will it look?
They could be Blue Giants, or Red Giants, or Red Supergiants.
Are Red super giants hotter than the Sun Why?
Because the sun is a star, and red super giants are bigger stars.
