A supergiant simply is a large giant - so, it is larger (in diameter) than a "regular" giant star.

What Is difference between a Giant and a Super Giant?

The primary difference between a giant and a supergiant star lies in their size and luminosity. Giants are typically larger than main-sequence stars but smaller than supergiants, with diameters ranging from about 10 to 100 times that of the Sun. Supergiants, on the other hand, are among the largest stars in the universe, often exceeding 100 times the Sun's diameter and exhibiting significantly higher luminosity. In essence, supergiants represent a more advanced evolutionary stage and are much more massive than giants.


What is the difference between a giant and a supergiant star?

Typically,giant stars have radii between 10 and 100 solar radii and luminosities between 10 and 1,000 times that of the Sun.Whereas Supergiants have a radii between 30 and 1,000 solar radii and luminosities between 30,000 and 100,000 times that of the Sun

Is a giant star bigger than a supergiant?

No, a supergiant star is generally larger than a giant star. In the classification of stars, giants are typically larger than main sequence stars but smaller than supergiants. Supergiants represent one of the most massive and luminous stages of stellar evolution, surpassing giants in both size and brightness.


What are the differences between the death of a huge star and a giant star?

The difference is that the giant star has it's death more seriously but,The huge star is mostly not well important to the huge star.


What is the difference between a star that becomes a red giant and one that becomes a red supergaint?

The mass of the star.


Will a red giant star end as a supernova?

Not exactly. Red giants become white dwarf stars. It is the red supergiants that can become supernovas.


Lists stars in order of increasing size?

White dwarf Main sequence star (like our sun) Red giant Supergiant


What determines if a main sequence star will be a red giant or a super red giant?

It is the mass of the main sequence star. "High mass" stars can become supergiants (not always red). If you go into more details, you will find this answer is a simplification, but it's OK for most purposes.
