A double-shell burning red giant star is a late-stage stellar object that has exhausted hydrogen in its core and is undergoing nuclear fusion in two separate shells: one surrounding the core where helium is fusing into carbon, and the other where hydrogen is fusing into helium. This structure results from the star's expansion and cooling as it evolves off the main sequence. Such stars are characterized by their large size, high luminosity, and distinctive reddish hue due to their cooler surface temperatures. Eventually, they will shed their outer layers, leading to the formation of a planetary nebula and leaving behind a white dwarf core.
A red giant star.
Red giant is a type of star.
A star turns into a red giant when it lose fuel and die. If a star isn't a massive star then it expands into a red giant. After that it becomes a white dwarf. If its massive then it collapses on itself and turns into a black hole.
The main sequence of a red giant refers to the phase in a star's life cycle prior to its expansion into a red giant. During the main sequence, a star fuses hydrogen into helium in its core, generating energy that counteracts gravitational collapse. Once the hydrogen is depleted, the core contracts and heats up, leading to the outer layers expanding and cooling, which transforms the star into a red giant. Thus, the main sequence is characterized by stable hydrogen burning, while the red giant phase marks the transition to helium burning and further stellar evolution.
Betelgeuse is a red giant.
A red giant star.
Red giant is a type of star.
No, a red giant is a star that has just left the hydrogen burning main sequence and begun the next step, burning helium. As helium undergoes fusion at a much higher temperature than hydrogen undergoes fusion, the star expands dramatically and as it expands its outer layers cool to red heat.

Yes, UY Scuti is a red supergiant star, which is a type of star that is larger and brighter than a red giant star.
Betelgeuse is a red giant.
Its justa red giant or supergiant
Red giants. By the way, what if it was a white star.
Dubhe is not a red giant but rather a subgiant star. It is the brightest star in the Big Dipper asterism and is classified as an evolved F-type subgiant star.
It is a Red Giant.
Our sun is expected to become a red giant within a few billion years. The red giant star Antares has a diameter 800 times that of the Sun.
