In fact, it’s our sun’s destiny to become a red giant star (and afterwards a white dwarf, and then a black dwarf). But what processes will drive the sun’s evolution to the red giant stage?
A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass (roughly 0.3–8 solar masses (M ☉)) in a late phase of stellar evolution. The outer atmosphere is inflated and tenuous, making the radius large and the surface temperature around 5,000 K [K] (4,700 °C; 8,500 °F) or lower.
What are red giant stars? Red giant stars (RSGs) are bright, bloated, low-to-medium mass stars approaching the ends of their lives.
The meaning of RED GIANT is a star that has low surface temperature and a diameter that is large relative to the sun.
Our Milky Way galaxy is a flattened, spiral disk of stars, gas and dust, surrounded by a large, spherical, diffuse halo of material. That halo also contains red giant stars -- and these red giants are different from those in the disk, although no one knows why.
Here’s an article about a planet surviving when its star became a red giant. And were you wondering if the Earth will survive when the Sun becomes a red giant? Want more information on stars?
Definition. A red giant is a large, cool, and luminous star that has entered the later stages of its life cycle. This type of star is characterized by its expanded size, cooler surface temperature, and reddish-orange appearance, resulting from the star's evolution beyond the main sequence stage.
