Does a red giant start have fusion occurring in its core?

No. In a red giant, fusion occurs in a shell around the core.


What force makes a red super giant collapse?

a strong gravitational force which means that the star will collapse in on itself


How is the red-giant formed?

A red giant forms when a star runs out of hydrogen fuel at its core and starts fusing hydrogen in a shell around the core the core. This causes the star to expand and cool.


What happens when a star uses its hydrogen?

When a star uses the hydrogen in its core it will start burning hydrogen in a shell around the core and become a red giant. After that the star will either collapse into a white dwarf or start fusing helium, depending on its mass.

A star that has exhausted the hydrogen in its core will become a red giant or supergiant.

How a star becames a white dwarf?

A white dwarf is the core of a dead star. As the star runs out of fuel, it expands into a red giant, as the shell of the red giant became a planetary nebula, and the core shrinks and became a white dwarf.


When a stars core collapses?

Neutronium, hyper-dense atomic nuclear material stripped of all electrons.


Red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass that is in a late phase of its evolution with nuclear fusion going on in a shell outside the core but not in the core itself?

Thermonuclear fusion is still going on in the core of a red giant, but it is a different type of thermonuclear fusion. The center of the core has reached high enough temperature and pressure that it can now burn helium, producing carbon. 3 4He --> 12C The large amount of energy released by this type of fusion pushes the outer layers away, making a giant star. The expansion of volume of the surface layer causes it to cool, appearing red. Thus a red giant.
