What kinds of star forms a red giant?
Our star , the SUN , which currently is a mid-sized yellow star, will form a Red Giant, when all the hydrogen in the Sun has fused into helium, and then into carbon. When it is doing this it will expand to such as size that it will swallow up the four rocky inner planets ( Mercurty, Venus, Earth & Mars).
Why don't red dwarfs become giant stars?
Red dwarfs have much lower mass compared to stars that become giants. Their mass is not sufficient to trigger the fusion of heavier elements in their cores, leading to the expansion and eventual evolution into giant stars. Additionally, red dwarfs undergo a different fusion process (proton-proton chain) compared to heavier stars, which prevents them from reaching giant sizes.
Are red giant stars the largest?
No, red giant stars are not the largest stars in the universe. There are stars known as supergiant and hypergiant stars that are even larger than red giants. These stars can be hundreds to thousands of times larger than our Sun.
What are the five primary types of stars?
The five primary types of stars are the red dwarf star, yellow star, blue giant star, giant star, and super giant star. The billions of stars in the universe fall under one of these classifications.
What is red giant in Cetus?
In the constellation Cetus, there are several red giant stars. These are stars that have exhausted their core hydrogen and expanded in size. One notable red giant in Cetus is Menkar, also known as Alpha Ceti.
When compared to other stars red giant stars are what?
When compared to the other stars, the Red Giant Star are very minute. There are other stars that are very large by far as compared to the Red giant stars.
What is The mass of the giant?
the mass of a red giant is 300 asses
What stars are the oldest red dwarfs white dwarfs red stars or giant stars?
The oldest stars are typically red dwarfs, which are small, cool, and faint stars that have long lifespans. White dwarfs are the remnant cores of low to medium mass stars, not the oldest. Giant stars are intermediate stage stars that have evolved away from the main sequence.
What determines if a main sequence star will be a red giant or a super red giant?
It is the mass of the main sequence star. "High mass" stars can become supergiants (not always red). If you go into more details, you will find this answer is a simplification, but it's OK for most purposes.

Is red star is the youngest star?
No. A star's color does not necessarily say anything about its age. A red giant or red supergiant is a star entering its final stages, but how old it is depends on its mass. More massive stars die sooner. Red dwarfs are stars that simply have a low mass and can be any age.
What is red giant and red supered gaint?
Big stars
Are red giant stars the largest?
No, red giant stars are not the largest stars in the universe. There are stars known as supergiant and hypergiant stars that are even larger than red giants. These stars can be hundreds to thousands of times larger than our Sun.
Where in the universe is a red giant found?
In stars.

What happens to stars which are less massive than sun?
Stars with more than about 80% of the Sun's mass behave like the Sun. They should eventually become red giant stars then white dwarf stars. Stars with mass of between about 8% and 80% of the Sun's mass are red dwarf stars. Below that come the "brown dwarfs, which aren't really true stars at all. The red dwarfs cannot fuse helium, so they simply become "white dwarf" stars when they have used up all their hydrogen "fuel".
