As a star expands into a red giant, the force of gravity increases in its core due to the increasing mass from the outer layers collapsing inward. This gravitational force causes the core to compress and heat up, leading to the fusion of helium and heavier elements. The balance between gravitational force and the pressure from nuclear fusion is crucial in determining the star's evolution during this phase.
No. That is when stars run out of hydrogen. They then have helium for fuel.
As a giant star expands, its surface area increases, allowing more energy to escape from its core. This increased surface area results in the star appearing more luminous. Additionally, the expansion causes the outer layers of the star to become less dense, which allows more light to escape and contribute to its overall brightness.
The stage where a star swells into a red giant is called the red giant phase, typically occurring when a star runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core and starts to fuse helium in its shell. During this phase, the star expands and cools, turning redder in color due to its lower surface temperature.
During the third stage, a star expands and becomes a red giant as it runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core. The core contracts and heats up, causing the outer layers to expand. Eventually, the star will shed its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a dense core called a white dwarf.
a strong gravitational force which means that the star will collapse in on itself
When heavier elements form by fusion, a massive star expands into a red supergiant. This is a stage of stellar evolution where the star increases in size and becomes much more luminous.

A super giant
A red giant forms when a main sequence star that has been contracting suddenly expands and cools.
No. That is when stars run out of hydrogen. They then have helium for fuel.
A star that has used up it's hydrogen supply because a "Red Giant". The star increases in diameter as it turns into a red giant.
As a giant star expands, its surface area increases, allowing more energy to escape from its core. This increased surface area results in the star appearing more luminous. Additionally, the expansion causes the outer layers of the star to become less dense, which allows more light to escape and contribute to its overall brightness.
the giant scales is Librascales
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.
A Red Giant
No, a red giant is a star that has just left the hydrogen burning main sequence and begun the next step, burning helium. As helium undergoes fusion at a much higher temperature than hydrogen undergoes fusion, the star expands dramatically and as it expands its outer layers cool to red heat.
A red giant is a star in its old age. During this stage, a star expands and cools as it exhausts its hydrogen fuel. Eventually, it will shed its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula.
