It is a giant but not quite a super giant.
Pollux is a red giant star and is estimated to be around 8.8 times the size of our Sun. Its radius is approximately 72 million kilometers.
Pollux, also known as Beta Geminorum, is classified as a giant star rather than a supergiant. It is approximately 1.5 times the mass of the Sun and is in the later stages of its stellar evolution, having expanded and brightened. While it is one of the brighter stars in the constellation Gemini, it does not meet the criteria to be classified as a supergiant, which typically involves being significantly larger and more luminous than giant stars.
Both Betelgeuse and Pollux are close to the end of their life. Both of the stars are large and cold in surface temperature. One difference is that Betelgeuse is a red supergiant, and Pollux is an orange giant.
Its apparent magnitude is about 2, but it's slightly variable. Usually it's given as 1.97v (where v means variable).
A non red giant is a giant, whereas a supergiant is well a supergiant and is a lot bigger.
