How would you arrange this in order red giant white dwarf and main sequence?
Main-sequence,red giant,white dwarf.
Which stage follows a main sequence star?
Red Giant
What is the main source of energy of a star as it grows in size to becomes a red giant?
A main sequence star burns hydrogen to helium. Once a main sequence star exhausts all of the hydrogen, it begins to expand and burn helium causing if to become a red giant.
How long does it take for a star like the Sun to evolve from the main sequence to the top of the red giant branch?
A star like the sun is a slow evolving star. It is estimated that it will take about ten million years for it to evolve from the main sequence to the top of the giant red branch.
Is a red giant an old dense cool star?
A red giant [See related question] is the final part in a stars main sequence [See related question] life. It is old but not very dense nor cool but certainly cooler than when it was a main sequence star.
Does a red main sequence star have fusion?
A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.
How would you arrange this in order red giant white dwarf and main sequence?
Main-sequence,red giant,white dwarf.
Is a red giant star considered to be a main sequence star?
No. Red giants are not on the main sequence.
What is the step after main sequence in a stars life?
After the main sequence, a star becomes a red giant.
What comes after the main sequence stage?
red giant
Which is a star in its old age Protostar Main sequence Black Hole or Red giant?
Red giant.
What element is the main fuel for main sequence stars for red giant?
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
Which stage follows a main sequence star?
Red Giant
What is the brightest star white dwarf nova red giant or main sequence?
Red giant is the largest and the brightest.
Are red giants main sequence stars?
yes before it dies it becomes a red giant
What is the phase that occurs after a main sequence star?
a red giant
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.
