No, our sun will not become a red supergiant; it does not have enough mass for that. However, our sun will become a red giant. This is due to happen in approximately five billion years when the sun start to undergo the nuclear fusion of helium instead of hydrogen.
As dwarf stars go, the Sun is kind of middling. Or maybe it's large. It sort of depends on how you count.
See, the Sun is a yellow dwarf. Yellow dwarfs tend to be about middle-of-the road if you just look at the various colors of stars, and what size they are.
However, if you look at them in comparison to how manythere are...
By far the majority of stars that we know of are red dwarfs... about 85%. The Sun is therefore automatically in about the top ten percent or so of all stars by mass.
No. Red dwarfs are M-type main sequence stars. The sun is A G-type main sequence star, also called a yellow dwarf, larger and much brighter than a red dwarf.
No. While the sun emits more light per square meter of its surface than a red giant does, a red giant has a much larger surface area and so emits more light overall.
Never. In about 5 billion years the sun's hydrogen fuel will run out and it will expand into a red giant and, after another 2 billion years, collapse into a white dwarf.
It cannot.
It will become a red giant in about 5 billion years.
A non red giant is a giant, whereas a supergiant is well a supergiant and is a lot bigger.
No. The sun is a G-type main sequence star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf.
No, Betelgeuse has already past that stage and has become a red supergiant.
Yes, Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star.
A star that has exhausted the hydrogen in its core will become a red giant or supergiant.
Red Giant/Supergiant, it will expand and atomise the Earth
Never.VY Canis Majoris - WAS a blue supergiant. It is now a red hypergiant and will "soon" become a massive supernova.
A non red giant is a giant, whereas a supergiant is well a supergiant and is a lot bigger.
No. The sun is a G-type main sequence star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf.
No, Betelgeuse has already past that stage and has become a red supergiant.
Because in about 5 billion years, the sun will die and become a giant or supergiant and become a supernova and since we are close to the sun, the supernova could destroy the planets that are orbiting the sun.
Yes, Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star.
Yes, it is a red supergiant star.
No. The sun is a main sequence star far smaller than any supergiant.
A star that has exhausted the hydrogen in its core will become a red giant or supergiant.
There are a lot of these. They are mainly the "Red Giant" and "Red Supergiant" stars.
Betelgeuse is the star in Orion that is known as a red supergiant.
