Giant Stars are a type of star on the Hertzsprung Russel Diagram called AGB or Asymptotic Giant branch stars. They are stars between about 1 or less to 8 times the mass of the sun that are nearing the end of their life. They can expand up to hundreds of times their original size. Depending on their luminosity, they are marked by a roman numeral 2 or 3 (II or III) in their spectral types. They range in color from red to blue. Our sun will be a red giant when it grows up in 5 billion years.
