- A Giant is a star up to 10 times larger than our Sun
- A Super giant is a star 10 times larger than our Sun
- A white dwarf is a stellar remnant about 100 times smaller than our Sun.

∙ 12y agoa super giant is the largest type of star with some being bigger than the solar system! then red giants are the next biggest type of star. then main sequence stars,next we have white dwarf stars which are remnants of main sequence stars and lastly we have the neutron star which is only about 20 kilometers across and are the remnants of super giants which mass is less than that of three sun's because any more than that they would have become black holes!

Are stars far away bigger than the sun?
The sun is a star itself. The sun is actually a very small star. There are stars that are WAY bigger then the sun.Like the VY Canis majoris star. The sun is invisible compared to that super giant star.
Which of these stars is a super giant?
when does Halley's Comet passes by the earth every
Is the surface temperature of white dwarf stars higher or lower than a red super giants?
Yes dwarf has higher temperature
How do the lives of the most massive stars end?
Less massive stars end up as white dwarfs. More massive stars end up as a supernova or a neutron star or for the really massive stars...as a black hole. As a star ends its time in the main sequence it either becomes a Red Giant and end its life as a White Dwarf or becomes a White Super Giant and ends its life in an explosion (supernova) and if it's really dense it becomes a neutron star or a black hole as mentioned above.
Why do some stars become white dwarfs and others become neutron stars and black holes?
Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star
What are the five main groups of stars?
Neutron (smallest) Dwarf Medium Giant Super Giant (largest)
Compare and contrast super giants and giant stars?
super giants are much cooler.
What are the five primary types of stars?
The five primary types of stars are the red dwarf star, yellow star, blue giant star, giant star, and super giant star. The billions of stars in the universe fall under one of these classifications.
Whats the life cycle of the stars?
A star's life cycle starts from a nebula. For giant stars, the star turns into a huge star to a super red giant to a supernova to a black hole. A sun-like star turns to a red giant, then a planetary nebula, a white dwarf, and then a black dwarf.
What stars is least bright 1 the sun 2 a blue super-giant 3 a white dwarf 4 a red giant?
3. White Dwarf Source: My teacher told me. I had the same worksheet with the same question for hw.
What is the cycle of the stars?
Stellar Nebula - Average Star- Red Giant - Planetary Nebula - White Dwarf Stellar Nebula - Massive Star - Red Super Giant - Super Nova- Neutron Star Stellar Nebula - Massive star - Red Super Giant -Super Nova - Black Hole
What color is super giant the star?
the super giant stars are red
What happens to very massive stars when they die?
Smaller stars like our own expand into a red giant and then eventually collapse into a white dwarf, the more larger stars like a bright giant star expand into a hyper giant or a super giant. Super giant stars can go supernova and collapse into a neutron star, a white dwarf, or a black hole. The hyper giant stars go hypernova and make a gamma ray that eventually ends into a black hole.
What is are some names of super giant stars?
Some of the SUPER GIANT stars are Sirius,Sun,Rigel,Betelgeuse,and procyon.
What is the super giant stars?
betelgeuse
