No. Redshift is a consequence of which is called the Doppler effect. If an object is moving away from an observed, the wavelengths of any waves it gives off, namely light and sound, will be stretched. Since red light has the longest wavelength of visible light, objects moving away will seem slightly redder. Without sensitive instruments the redshift is not noticeable unless the object is moving extremely fast.

sun is now, the earth would be inside it. It's not only bigger than the earth, it's bigger
than the earth's orbit !

Betelgeuse for example has a mass of about 18 times than of our own Sun.

Is a supergiant star high mass or low?
High, typically 10 to 70 times (or more) the mass of our own sun.
Which progression do astronomers expect our sun to follow as it runs out of fuel?
When the sun runs out of fuel it is expected to turn into a red supergiant engulfing earth. Then it is supposed to shrink into a white dwarf.
Do you think there is more gravity on the sun or earth?
The sun has more gravity because it has more mass. (The greater the mass the more gravity)
Does the sun have greater mass than Jupiter?
Yes. The Sun accounts for 99.86% of the total mass of the entire Solar System.
Can a star with a mass 10 times greater that of the sun produce a supernova?
Yes. Good thing that our Sun isn't that big!
Is a supernova a super giant?
A supernova may have been a supergiant star at one time, but it did not have to be. Any star with a mass greater than 3 times our sun will supernova. There are millions of stars having masses between 3 solar masses and supergiant mass for every single supergiant star... and every one will supernova when it dies.
What is it called when the sun turns red?
Red Giant/Supergiant, it will expand and atomise the Earth
How big is a red giant?
A red giant will be about 10 to a 100 times bigger than our Sun. However that is just a red giant. A red supergiant will be about 100 to 1,500 times bigger than the Sun, whereas a red hypergiant will be anything greater that 1,500 times that of the Sun - Like VY Canis Majoris.
Is a supergiant star high mass or low?
High, typically 10 to 70 times (or more) the mass of our own sun.
Is the sun a red giant or a supergiant?
No. The sun is a G-type main sequence star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf.
Does the sun or earth have a stronger gravitional pull?
The sun because it has more mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull.
Is it true that the sun is classified as a supergiant star?
No. The sun is a main sequence star far smaller than any supergiant.
Which star is cooler and more brighter than the sun?
There are a lot of these. They are mainly the "Red Giant" and "Red Supergiant" stars.
Is the earths mass greater than the sun?
No, it is only a tiny fraction. The sun's mass is roughly 330,000 times greater than the Earth.
What is the definition of a supergiant?
Any of various very large bright stars, such as Betelgeuse, having a luminosity that is thousands of times greater than that of our sun.
Is the sun considered a supergiant?
No. The sun is a main sequence star.
Is an F2 star a supergiant?
An F2 star is a star that is currently emitting yellow white light. Its solar mass is about 1 to 1.4 times the sun, and its radius is about 1.15 to 1.4 solar radii, so it does not fall into supergiant status.
