The five largest known red supergiants in the Galaxy are VY Canis Majoris, VV Cephei A, V354 Cephei, RW Cephei and KW Sagittarii.
The largest known stars are the red supergiants or hypergiants. One example, the largest known star, is VY Canis Majoris.
The stars that are like supergiants are called "red giants" or "red supergiants".
No, the largest star known is a Red Hypergiant (vy canis majoris) which are much larger than supergiants. Most of the largest stars are red hypergiants followed by red supergiants.
They could be Blue Giants, or Red Giants, or Red Supergiants.
Not exactly. Red giants become white dwarf stars. It is the red supergiants that can become supernovas.
Red giants. By the way, what if it was a white star.
Yes. The lowest mass stars are red dwarfs while many older stars turn into red giants and red supergiants.
Perhaps that was meant to be "How do" not "Who". In that case, red supergiants "die" as a supernova, leaving behind a neutron star or black hole.
Fusion continues in red supergiants because their cores are able to fuse heavier elements such as helium into even heavier elements like carbon, neon, and oxygen. The high temperatures and pressures in the core allow nuclear fusion reactions to continue, powering the star and maintaining its equilibrium.
It depends, as there are two general classes of red star. Red dwarfs are low-mass stars and smallest of all main sequence stars. Red giants and supergiants are old dying stars that are many times larger than other stars.
Yes, blue supergiants are significantly hotter than red supergiants. Blue supergiants typically have surface temperatures ranging from about 10,000 to 50,000 Kelvin, while red supergiants usually have temperatures between 3,000 and 4,000 Kelvin. This difference in temperature is due to the varying stages of stellar evolution and the mass of the stars; blue supergiants are more massive and have burned through their hydrogen fuel more rapidly than their red counterparts.
No, red supergiants are cooler than the Sun. Despite their larger size, red supergiants have lower surface temperatures due to their increased surface area, resulting in a more reddish hue compared to the Sun's yellow color.
