Yes because the Sun is not a giant so all giants are bigger than the Sun.
A red giant star is much larger and brighter than the Sun. It is in the later stages of its life cycle when it begins to expand and cool down. Eventually, it will shed its outer layers and become a white dwarf.
Our Sun will eventually become a red giant, not a red supergiant. As it exhausts its hydrogen fuel in about 5 billion years, it will expand and cool, turning into a red giant. A red supergiant, on the other hand, is a larger star that has significantly more mass than the Sun and undergoes a different evolutionary path.
No. The sun is a yellow main sequence star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf. The term is a bit counterintuitive, as a yellow dwarf is a bit larger than the average star, but still far smaller than a red giant.
A red giant can be hundreds to thousands of times larger in diameter than our Sun. This expansion occurs as a star exhausts its core hydrogen fuel and starts to burn helium in its outer layers, causing it to swell and become a red giant.
Our sun is expected to become a red giant within a few billion years. The red giant star Antares has a diameter 800 times that of the Sun.

A Red Giant would be one larger than our sun.
Many stars are bigger, but Betelgeuse is one of them, a red giant.

A yellow star. The Sun is definitely not a red giant; if it were to swell to the size of a red giant (like Antares, for example), our Earth would end up inside the Sun.
No. The Sun is a main-sequence star. It will not be a red giant for another 5 billion years.(see related link for an image of what the Sun would look like in its red giant phase

any giant or supergiant
The Sun will still be "the Sun", but the next type of star it will become is a "red giant" star.
Our sun is expected to become a red giant within a few billion years. The red giant star Antares has a diameter 800 times that of the Sun.
