The Sun is one. Polaris is another.

There are many examples and different types of star can have the same color.

In fact, it's often hard to detect much color with the unaided eye.

Of course, you should not lookdirectly at the Sun.

The Sun's apparent color is affected by our atmosphere. Because of that, the Sun often looks red at sunrise or sunset.

It depends. If you are in the northern hemisphere than you are probably looking at Sirius "the dog star" which appears near the const. orion. Orion can be identified by the three stars that form a stright line, which is refered to as orions belt.

If it is a large red star, it is called a Red Giant. They usually signal that the star is close to death.

Antares comes to mind. Also Mars, which looks like a star, but is really a planet. There are others, too; probably a search on Wikipedia, about "red giants", will give you a few more names.

What color will an interstellar gas cloud composed of hydrogen glow?

It all depends on how close stars are to the cloud, and how intense those stars radiate energy. A nebula will glow with a blue colour if it simply reflects starlight (the blue is from the same mechanism our sky is blue, from the scattering of light). This occurs when a nebula is too far from stars, or the stars are too cool to generate enough radiation to ionize the hydrogen. Nebula will glow red if they are close enough to stars to absorb energy - that energy is re-emitted by the nebula as red (from the ionization of the hydrogen, which then glows red).


Will earth be a red giant in the future?

No. Red giants are when stars become even bigger than they were before. Our sun will become a red giant in a few billion years. When it does, it will destroy earth.


Do stars have names?

Most of the brightest stars are named after characters in the mythology from various cultures. Many of them have different names depending on where you are in the world. They were often named in pre-history by our ancestors. Modern astronomers have given the stars new names so that they can keep track of them. Stars are named for the constellation that they lie in with the brightest star in a constellation being alpha and so on throught the greek alphabet. Also if you discover a star you can name it or you can buy a star and name it.
