A red giant [See Link] is a low to intermediate mass star (roughly 0.5--10solar masses) that is in a late phase of stellar evolution before turning into a white dwarf. The outer atmosphere is inflated and tenuous, making the radius immense and the surface temperature low, somewhere around 5,000 Kelvin.
