That's basically when it runs out of hydrogen. How long this takes depends a lot on the mass of the star - in a a very high-mass star ths can take just a few million years, in our Sun it takes about 10 billion years, and in red dwarves, it can take trillions of years for this to happen.

When the Sun moves off the main sequence it will next become a?
It will become a red giant.
Can supernova be a red giant?
A red giant can become a supernova.
When a main-sequence star has exhausted the fuel in its core it becomes a....?
I am pretty sure it becomes a giant if I'm not mistaken.
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.
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.
Why will the color of the sun change from yellow to red when it become a giant?
Color is related to surface temperature, and a "red giant" is cooler than a main sequence, medium-sized star like the Sun.
When a main sequence star has the fuel in its core it becomes?
The next step in its life is to become a "red giant" star.
When a main sequence has exhausted the fuel in its core it becomes?
The next step in its life is to become a "red giant" star.
The sun will eventually use up its hydrogen fuel and become what?
When the sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core and become a red giant.
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.
How does stars like the sun become a red giant?
All Stars will become a red giant , and there are also new Stars are borning.
