Giant stars are commonly referred to as "giant" stars because of their large size compared to main sequence stars like the Sun. These stars are in a later stage of their evolution and have expanded in size due to the depletion of their core's hydrogen fuel.
The five main groups of stars are main sequence stars, giant stars, supergiant stars, white dwarf stars, and neutron stars. These groups are classified based on their size, temperature, and stage in their life cycle.
The two types of stars that do not fall into the main sequence of an H-R diagram are white dwarfs and giant stars. White dwarfs are small, hot stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel, while giant stars are large, luminous stars that have evolved off the main sequence due to changes in their internal structure.
Giant stars are massive, luminous stars that have reached the later stages of their life cycle. They are larger and hotter than main sequence stars, like our Sun, and are often in the process of expanding and cooling as they exhaust their nuclear fuel. Giant stars are crucial for the creation of heavy elements in the universe through nucleosynthesis processes.
The primary fuel for all stars is hydrogen
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.

Main sequence stars do not really exist - well they do, but read on. Main sequence is a stage in a stars life - where it converts hydrogen into energy, not a particular star or type of star. All stars go through a main sequence, from the smallest to the largest.However, in general, the larger the star, the faster it will burn off it's fuel.

A star's lifetime depends on its mass. More massive stars have shorter lifetimes, burning through their fuel faster, while less massive stars have longer lifetimes. Additionally, the composition of a star determines how it burns its fuel and influences its lifetime.
The main element found in the atmosphere of a gas giant planet like Jupiter or Saturn is hydrogen. This element makes up the majority of their composition, along with other gases like helium, methane, and ammonia.
After the main sequence, a star becomes a red giant.
