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.
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.
It is a giant but not quite a super giant.
No. The sun is a main sequence star.
No. The diameter of Sirius A is about 1.7 times that of the sun. To be considered a supergiant a star must be at least 100 times the diameter of the sun.
Its apparent magnitude is about 2, but it's slightly variable. Usually it's given as 1.97v (where v means variable).

Yes, it is a red supergiant star.
The Pollux Star is located in the Beta Geminorum
The surface temperature of the Pollux star is 4,500 K
Yes, Betelgeuse is a supergiant star. It is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion and is one of the largest stars known in our galaxy.
Pollux is a star in the constellation of Gemini, approximately 34 light-years away from Earth. It is not a galaxy, but rather a binary star system consisting of a bright giant star and a fainter companion star.
The easiest supergiant star to see is Betelgeuse, the bright red star at the shoulder of Orion the Hunter.
