A red giant is called so because it appears red in color due to its lower surface temperature compared to a younger star. As it expands and cools during its later stages of evolution, it becomes larger and brighter, hence the name "red giant."
The next stage in the life of the sun is the red giant phase, where it will expand and become much larger. Eventually, the sun will shed its outer layers and form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a remnant core known as a white dwarf.
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. 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.

Jupiter's giant red spot is really just a giant storm and is sometimes nicknamed Jupiter's Red eye.

The giant panda is found in small remnant bamboo forests of central China.
They are called giant pandas to reduce confusion between giant pandas and red pandas. they are considerably large compared to red pandas therefore making them giant

Red giants. By the way, what if it was a white star.
A red giant's core is called a helium core. This is because as a red giant forms, the core of the star contracts and heats up, causing hydrogen fusion to transition to helium fusion.

Red Giant/Supergiant, it will expand and atomise the Earth
