Red super-giants form when stars of more than ten solar masses begin to burn their helium. Eventually such a star will burn all of possible fuels and go into gravitational collapse, resulting in a super-nova. If the mass left over from this collapse is large enough (a remnant of three to five solar masses), the remnant will collapse into a black hole.

How long do red supergiants live?

Red supergiants have relatively short lifespans compared to other stars, typically a few million years. They spend only a few hundred thousand years in the red supergiant phase before eventually evolving into supernovae or collapsing into black holes.


Will a red giant star end as a supernova?

Not exactly. Red giants become white dwarf stars. It is the red supergiants that can become supernovas.


Do low mass main sequence stars become red super giants?

No. Only massive stars can become supergiants.


What are the stages of the life cycle of an average star?

-average size -expands and becomes a red giant -cools and contracts, becomes a white dwarf star -massive sized stars -swell and become red supergiants -explode (called a supernova) -become a black hole -become a neutron star


Who super red giants die?

Perhaps that was meant to be "How do" not "Who". In that case, red supergiants "die" as a supernova, leaving behind a neutron star or black hole.


What is a star much larger than our star called?

A star much larger than our Sun is typically called a "supergiant." Supergiants are among the most massive and luminous stars in the universe, often exceeding several times the mass of the Sun. They can be classified into different types, such as red supergiants and blue supergiants, based on their temperature and color. These stars eventually undergo supernova explosions at the end of their life cycles, leading to the formation of neutron stars or black holes.


Is a blue supergiants hotter than a red supergiant?

Yes, blue supergiants are significantly hotter than red supergiants. Blue supergiants typically have surface temperatures ranging from about 10,000 to 50,000 Kelvin, while red supergiants usually have temperatures between 3,000 and 4,000 Kelvin. This difference in temperature is due to the varying stages of stellar evolution and the mass of the stars; blue supergiants are more massive and have burned through their hydrogen fuel more rapidly than their red counterparts.


What are the universe's biggest stars?

What stars are extremely luminous but not hot?

Which star is likey a super giant?

Do all-stars tern into blackholes when they die?

Not all stars do but stars can turn into black holes. Small ones turn in to a black dwarf star when it dies. Medium ones turn in to a neutron then in to a red giant star and then to white dwarf star Large size stars becomes a blackhole..........


Are the largest stars known red super giants?

No, the largest star known is a Red Hypergiant (vy canis majoris) which are much larger than supergiants. Most of the largest stars are red hypergiants followed by red supergiants.
