A yellow star. The Sun is definitely not a red giant; if it were to swell to the size of a red giant (like Antares, for example), our Earth would end up inside the Sun.
No. The sun is a yellow main sequence star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf. The term is a bit counterintuitive, as a yellow dwarf is a bit larger than the average star, but still far smaller than a red giant.
Most yellow stars do. The Sun is expected to follow this progression.
The sun is a yellow dwarf star. Its color, temperature, and size classify it as such compared to other types of stars.
Color is related to surface temperature, and a "red giant" is cooler than a main sequence, medium-sized star like the Sun.

You can dress in all yellow and orange. Then either get a shirt with the sun on it, or make a giant sun mask out of cardboard. OR you can make a sort of headband out of cardboard with sun "rays" coming out. Then, if you want to get a liitle more festive you can wear a yellow tutu or paint your face yellow.
The sun is estimated to reach a size where it engulfs Mercury and Venus, likely extending out to Earth's orbit. This expansion is expected to happen in around 5 billion years as the sun evolves into a red giant before eventually collapsing into a white dwarf.
no its a star if it was a gas giant it would be a planet
This is a yellow super-giant star, around 800 light-years from our solar system.
A main sequence star with a spectral calss of G2V or yellow dwarf.
Polaris is a triple star system. The main components is a yellow super giant with a mass more than 5 times that of my sun.
