It's smaller and cooler. It will also live a lot longer than a blue giant.
No. Red giants are not on the main sequence.
A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.
main sequence,giant then nebula
None of those is a main sequence star.
After the main sequence, a star becomes a red giant.
Roughly 90% of a star's total lifetime is spent on the main sequence, where it fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. After this stage, the star will evolve off the main sequence and follow a different path, such as becoming a red giant or a supernova.
Nuclear Fusion in a Giant Star involves Helium being fused into a hydrogen shell that surrounds the core, and Nuclear Fusion in a Main-Sequence star involves Hydrogen being fused into Helium to produce Energy inside of the core.

it doesn't because the star may be already dead before its ready to become a giant.
It is when the star is close to its death stage. {Main Sequence, Giant, Super Giant, and then the white dwarfs}
A main sequence star burns hydrogen to helium. Once a main sequence star exhausts all of the hydrogen, it begins to expand and burn helium causing if to become a red giant.
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
