What else can I help you with?
Red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass that is in a late phase of its evolution with nuclear fusion going on in a shell outside the core but not in the core itself?
Thermonuclear fusion is still going on in the core of a red giant, but it is a different type of thermonuclear fusion. The center of the core has reached high enough temperature and pressure that it can now burn helium, producing carbon. 3 4He --> 12C The large amount of energy released by this type of fusion pushes the outer layers away, making a giant star. The expansion of volume of the surface layer causes it to cool, appearing red. Thus a red giant.
What is a red giants core called?
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.
Cycle when stars at its biggest?
A red giant, when a main sequence star begins fusing helium into carbon in the star's core. When our Sun becomes a red giant, in another 4 billion years or so, it will expand to consume Mercury and Venus at least, and possibly the Earth as well.
What characteristics of the Earth makes a giant magnet?
the molten iron core
Is Saturn a gas giant or rocky?
Saturn is classified as a gas giant, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with a small rocky core at its center.
When the outer envelope of a red giant recedes the remaining carbon core is called?
When the outer envelope of a red giant recedes, the remaining carbon core is called a white dwarf. This core is extremely hot and dense, with no nuclear fusion taking place.
Does a red giant start have fusion occurring in its core?
Yes, a red giant is a stage in the life cycle of a star where fusion reactions are occurring in its core. The core of a red giant star typically consists of helium undergoing fusion into heavier elements like carbon and oxygen.
What is in the inner core of Uranus?
Most likely a giant core of ice, or somehow a giant core of boiling magma.
What type of star burns helium?
All red giant stars will start helium fusion when their core is compressed.
How are giant stars and white dwarf related?
A giant star is a dying star that expanded, and the core shrinks are the same time. When the shell of the giant star drift into space as planetary nebula, the core became a white dwarf. The white dwarf is made from the core of the giant star.
What produces sun's energy?
Nuclear fusion of Hydrogen to Helium is what produces the Sun's Energy. this takes place in the core. Later when it becomes a Red Giant it will fuse Helium to Carbon
Can you land on Saturns core?
No, it is a gas giant.
How is the red-giant formed?
A red giant forms when a star runs out of hydrogen fuel at its core and starts fusing hydrogen in a shell around the core the core. This causes the star to expand and cool.

How many core electrons does carbon have?
Carbon has 2 core electrons. Core electrons are the inner electrons of an atom that are not involved in chemical bonding.
Is there really a giant diamond in outer space?
I don't think so because diamonds require heat and pressure neither of which is possible to obtain in space. crazy chris says: dude this giant diamond is the core of a white dwarf star the heat of the core left over from the nuclear fusion of the star provided great amounts of heat and the gravitational pull of the sheer mass of the core allowed the pressure to crystalize the core of the star which is mostly carbon into a diamond it is simple physics.
