It typically takes a few million years for a star like the Sun to expand into a red giant during the later stages of its life cycle. This expansion occurs once the star exhausts its core hydrogen fuel and begins fusing helium in a shell around the core, causing it to swell in size.

What is the gigantic explosion of a red giant?

Technically the explosion of a Red giant is not called a Supernova as the mass of the star is not great enough. However the explosion from a Red Super Giant can be called a supernova. A normal Red giant doesn't actually explode, the core just collapses again to cause a white dwarf and the outer layers are ejected to form planetary Nebulae.


How long does a red giant star last?

A red giant star can last for tens of millions to billions of years, depending on its initial mass. The more massive the star, the shorter its lifespan as a red giant. After this stage, the star will eventually shed its outer layers and evolve into a planetary nebula.


Which is the correct order - white dwarf or red?

The correct order is red giant followed by white dwarf. A red giant is a stage in the life cycle of a star where it has expanded and cooled. After the red giant phase, the star sheds its outer layers and the core collapses to form a white dwarf.
