Is Sirius A considered a supergiant?
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.
Is our sun a supergiant?
No, our Sun is not a supergiant; it is classified as a G-type main-sequence star (G dwarf). Supergiants are much larger and more luminous than the Sun, typically found in later stages of stellar evolution. The Sun is in the middle of its life cycle and is expected to evolve into a red giant in about 5 billion years, but it will never reach the supergiant stage.
Biggest sun in the universe?
UY Scuti is currently considered one of the largest known stars in the universe. It is a red supergiant located in the Milky Way galaxy and has a radius around 1,700 times that of the Sun.
Why would a supergiant have a brighter absolute magintude than a white dwarf?
A supergiant is much larger than a white dwarf. A supergiant can be 10 to 70 times the size of our Sun, whereas a white dwarf is only about the size of the Earth.
Is the sun a red giant or a supergiant?
No. The sun is a G-type main sequence star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf.
Is Sirius A considered a supergiant?
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.
Is it true that the sun is classified as a supergiant star?
No. The sun is a main sequence star far smaller than any supergiant.
How many times bigger is the sun then a super giant?
The sun is tiny compared to a supergiant.
Star that is larger than the sun?
any giant or supergiant
What is a star that is millions of times brighter than the sun?
a Supergiant

Is polaris a massive star?
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is not considered a massive star. It is a supergiant star, specifically a yellow supergiant of spectral type F7Ib, with a mass about 5 times that of the Sun. While it is larger and more luminous than the Sun, it does not reach the high mass classifications of truly massive stars, which typically have masses exceeding 8 times that of the Sun.

What is it called when the sun turns red?
Red Giant/Supergiant, it will expand and atomise the Earth
Is the sun a red giant or a supergiant?
No. The sun is a G-type main sequence star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf.
Is pollux considered a supergiant star?
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.
