One of the largest stars known is YZ Canis Majoris.
It is a Red Hypergiant star estimated to be up to 2,100 times the diameter of the Sun.
This gives us a diameter of about 2,923,200,000 km and an area of 9,183,503,644.97 km2.
The earths diameter is 12,742 km and this gives an area of 40,030.17 km2.
This means that it would take 229,414.53 earths to make up the area of YZ Canis Majoris.
What else can I help you with?
What is the explosion that occurs at the end of a giant star's life?
That would be a super-nova
What will happen if the red giant star explodes?
If a red giant star explodes, it can result in a supernova event where the star releases an enormous amount of energy and material into space. This explosion can lead to the formation of elements heavier than iron and can also result in the formation of a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the size of the star.
When a high-mass star turns into a super-giant and then explodes the explosion is called?
A Nova or a Supernova.
What is an example of a super giant star?
Rigel in Orion and Deneb in Cygnus are such examples
Can a low mass star expand into a super giant star and explode then evolves into either a neutron star or a black hole?
Many stars are massive enough to form a red giant and then either a white dwarf or neutron star. The best calculations we can do now indicate that one needs at least ten times the mass of the sun to form a black hole. Such stars are not rare.
What is older the super giant star or the giant star?
The giant star
What star is super giant star?
Hypergiant.
What are super-giant star?
super giants are a very very big star
What is the super giant star called?
A Super Nova.
What super is a star that is a million of times brighter than the sun?
super-giant star
What is the difference between a giant star and a super-giant star?
one is big one is small
What is the cycle of the stars?
Stellar Nebula - Average Star- Red Giant - Planetary Nebula - White Dwarf Stellar Nebula - Massive Star - Red Super Giant - Super Nova- Neutron Star Stellar Nebula - Massive star - Red Super Giant -Super Nova - Black Hole
What is a blue super giant star?
sirius
What causes a star to become a super giant versus a giant?
That would mainly depend on the star's mass.
What are the red giants?
A red giant is when a star becomes very large. A super red giant is when a star becomes very extremely large. People think that in a few billion years, our sun will become a red giant and swallow up earth.
What is the life story of a star?
In short... Nebula of gases --> Protostar --> Brown Dwarf --> Yellow Star --> Blue Giant --> Blue Super Giant --> Red Super Giant --> Super Nova --> Black Hole/Neutron Star/White Dwarf You should note that at any time in the life cycle of a star it may simply run out of fuel and then fade into a white dwarf. Interesting side-note if our sun should evolve into a blue giant it would eliminate all life on earth and if our sun were to run out of fuel and turn into a white dwarf it would eliminate all life on earth. Food for thought :)
Is Rigel a dwar star?
No. It is, in fact, a super-giant.
