How big can a red giant get?
Red giants can vary in size, but they typically expand to be tens to hundreds of times larger than our sun. Some red giants can even reach sizes where their outer layers extend beyond the orbit of Mars.
Which are hotter white dwarfs or red giants?
red giants
Are red giants or blue giants bigger?
Generally red giants are bigger, but really it has more to do with how hot they burn. Blue giants burn hotter and have more mass.
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.
Why are red giants bright?
A star's magnitude is assosiated with its surface area/size. The reason Red giants may be brighter than those within the same colou (B-V), is simply due to the fact that it is much larger. (which results in an increased magnitude/brightness/luminosity.)
Do stars expand in size?
Stars expand in size to become red giants, when they start running low on Hydrogen fuel.
Is this true Intermediate mass stars expand in red giants and then become part of a supernova?
No. Intermediate mass stars will evolve into Red Giants and then to White Dwarfs. See related questions for more information.
How big can a red giant get?
Red giants can vary in size, but they typically expand to be tens to hundreds of times larger than our sun. Some red giants can even reach sizes where their outer layers extend beyond the orbit of Mars.
When do stars become red giants?
Stars become red giants when they have exhausted their hydrogen fuel in the core and start burning helium, causing the outer layers to expand and cool. This expansion turns the star into a large, cool, and luminous red giant.
Which are hotter white dwarfs or red giants?
red giants
Are there different types of red giants?
Yes, there are. The classic red giants that come from sun- like stars, and red supergiants come from blue giants.
Are red giants or blue giants bigger?
Generally red giants are bigger, but really it has more to do with how hot they burn. Blue giants burn hotter and have more mass.
How big are Red Giants?
Red Giants are 20 to 100 times bigger than the Sun.
Why is Jupiter sometimes called a red giant?
It is never referred to as a red giant, but it might be because it has a giant red spot on it which is actually a large storm on the planet. But red giants are stars which have used up all the hydrogen so they start to expand and swallow up all the planets around it. )
Which of these stars produces the most light?
Well light wise the highest category would be blue giants, red giants, and super red giants.
What do we call a large family of millions of stars?
Red giants. By the way, what if it was a white star.
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.
