helium
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.
Red Giants:)
They explode as a supernova/hypernova to form a planetary nebula/black hole.
No, white dwarfs are much hotter than giants. Giants are stars in the later stages of their evolution, while white dwarfs are the remnants of dead stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel. White dwarfs can have surface temperatures in the tens of thousands of degrees Kelvin, while giants have lower surface temperatures.
red giants
Stars expand in size to become red giants, when they start running low on Hydrogen fuel.
The main fuel for a red giant star is hydrogen, which is fused into helium in the star's core during the earlier stages of its life. As the hydrogen in the core gets depleted, the star begins to fuse helium and other heavier elements in shells surrounding the core. This process causes the star to expand and cool, giving it the characteristic red color. Eventually, red giants may go on to fuse heavier elements as they evolve further.
Yes, there are. The classic red giants that come from sun- like stars, and red supergiants come from blue giants.
Red giants expand because they have exhausted the hydrogen fuel in their cores and have started fusing helium. This helium fusion causes the outer layers of the star to swell and expand, making the star larger and cooler overall.
