A low-mass star becomes a giant when it exhausts the hydrogen fuel in its core, leading to a decline in nuclear fusion. As the core contracts under gravity, temperatures rise, triggering fusion of hydrogen in a surrounding shell. This process causes the outer layers to expand significantly, transforming the star into a red giant. This stage typically occurs after the star has spent billions of years in the main sequence phase.

Which is denser a dwarf star or a giant star?
A dwarf star is denser than a giant star. Dwarf stars have a higher density due to their smaller size and higher mass compared to giant stars. Giant stars have larger volumes and lower densities as they have expanded and become less dense towards the end of their life cycle.
