A red supergiant is the largest type of star by volume, but not by mass. It is also one of the"coolest" active stars. These stars have fused most of their hydrogen to helium, and pressure from its core have swelled its size, to between 200 and 800 times the diameter of our Sun. Since the mass has not increased with the volume, the star's average density is comparatively low.
