The distance to a red giant star can vary significantly depending on the specific star in question. Red giants are typically located tens to hundreds of light-years away from Earth. Some of the nearest red giants can be located within a few hundred to a few thousand light-years.

Is a red giant star farther away then a red dwarf star from earth?

Red dwarf stars may be the most common stars throughout the galaxy, and possibly the universe. They are so dim, however, that they are difficult to see.The red dwarf Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun; however, it is not visible without a telescope. Doubtless there are a great number of stars further away that are entirely lost to view because they are so dim.If two stars have approximately equal apparent magnitudes, the dim & tiny red dwarf star is far closer than the enormous red giant.
