Hypergiants are super luminous supergiants. It isn't all about sheer size. Eta Carinae is a hypergiant but it is smaller than the supergiant Antares. This is due to the fact that Eta Carinae is about 60 times as luminous as Antares and 10 times as massive. Although size doesn't matter, the largest star VY Canis Majoris is a Hypergiant.

Most of the stars in the main sequence are to the lower right of the sun what can you conclude about the brightness of these stars and their temperatures?
Main Sequence stars can be any spectral class of star. Something that might help you in the future is when you look up a star and see its spectral class, its always followed by a roman numeral to define where the star is in its life and size and they go as follows. I-a= A hyper Giant Star I-b= A very bright Super Giant star I= A normal Super Giant star II= Bright Giant star III= Giant star IV= Sub Giant star V= Dwarf Star(which this is where most main sequence stars fall into, While a main sequence star could also be one of the classifications listed above. it just depends on its spectral class. for example the star Deneb is in its main sequence still and its classified as a hyper giant) VI= Sub Dwarfs (this is a very rare classification and are mostly used for brown dwarfs. I hope this helps mate.
What color is a hyper giant star?
Blue when it is young and red just before it dies.
What do you call a star that is bigger then a regular one?
first its called the main sequence star like the sun then it becomes a red giant then it becomes a red super giant and if it is huge a hyper-giant like VY Canis Majoris (largest star known) then it explodes and it becomes a planetary nebula then it becomes a white dwarf
When a star collapses does it get bigger?
that depends on how large the red or super red giant was. if it was a super red giant that is 1000X larger than a red giant. it will become a black hole
What is older the super giant star or the giant star?
The giant star
What is the name of a star that is about to die?
A star is considered "dead" when nuclear fusion stops in its core. The name of the a star before this happens depends on its size. If its a star the size of our own, Sol, then it will be called a red giant. If it is considerably lager then it will be called either a giant, bright giant, super giant or hyper giant. This again depends on its size.
What super giant star in the milky way is approximately 800 times bigger than the sun?
Antares

What determines how large a star gets?

Are stars far away bigger than the sun?
