The mass of a red giant star varies between 0.3 and 8 solar masses. The solar mass is approximately 2 X (10) to the power 30 kilograms. In other words is pretty heavy.

What happens if you combine a average star with a red giant?

if by combine you mean two stars crash into each other, the average sized star would melt into the red giant, if by combine you mean place the average inside the red giant, the averagesize will just expand and be absorbed


What is the average temperature of the red giant star?

Red giants have temperatures between about 5,000 and 6,700 degrees Fahrenheit.


Will your sun become a red super red giant or a red giant?

Our Sun will eventually become a red giant, not a red supergiant. As it exhausts its hydrogen fuel in about 5 billion years, it will expand and cool, turning into a red giant. A red supergiant, on the other hand, is a larger star that has significantly more mass than the Sun and undergoes a different evolutionary path.


What is the gigantic explosion of a red giant called?

Technically the explosion of a Red giant is not called a Supernova as the mass of the star is not great enough. However the explosion from a Red Super Giant can be called a supernova. A normal Red giant doesn't actually explode, the core just collapses again to cause a white dwarf and the outer layers are ejected to form planetary Nebulae.


What is the explosion of a red giant called?

The explosion of a red giant is called a supernova. It would be quite spectacular to watch! I hope this answer helps :D Technically the explosion of a Red giant is not called a Supernova as the mass of the star is not great enough.

What is the total mass of a red giant?

A red giant is a star, at a particular phase of its development. It can be a star that has approximately the mass of our Sun (the Sun is expected to become a red giant eventually), or several times that mass.

How small is the normal star?

Our Sun is above average; the average star is a red dwarf, with a fraction of the mass of our Sun, and a fraction of its diameter.


What is the temperature of a low mass red giant?

2000 to 4000 kelvin


What is the star called that is after the Red Giant?

white dwarf if it has low mass Neutron star or Blackhole if it is massive enough to cause a red super giant


What is the average temperature of the red giant star?

Red giants have temperatures between about 5,000 and 6,700 degrees Fahrenheit.


What is the difference between a star that becomes a red giant and one that becomes a red supergaint?

The mass of the star.


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.
