The red supergiant has already consumed all of its supply of hydrogen.After that helium starts to form in the core.The outer shells go through nuclear fusion making them expand. Which is why the star is huge in size. And the red supergiants are one of the most known giant stars in the galaxy.
The massive star is a stage before the red supergiant.The way a massive star is formed is by fusing material into more heavier elements.The …show more content…
After that the red supergiant will have to find a new source of power. If not gravity will start to take over and start crushing the star inward.In order for the star to stop gravity it has to find a new source of power which it can then fuse into something stronger but gravity will always keep trying to crush the red supergiant inward.
Red supergiant stars have the ability to possibly support life. If you are at least 7-22 au it can be a good habitable zone for life.One reason why scientist believe it can support life is that it is mostly like our sun.Most of the red supergiant stars hardly rotate either they rotate very slow or sometimes don't even rotate.Hydrogen is what mostly runs the stars because without it there will be noe fuel to burn in the center and that's when the stars die or blow up like the supernova.
The red supergiant reaches its expansion when it is done burning helium or hydrogen.In the expansion the star can grow up to from 100 to 1,000 times its size. Some other people believe that the red supergiants could have a storm like jupiter.But those people have mistaken because jupiter has clouds in the planet but th red supergiant has no clouds and is just a red star.Red supergiants can cause a explosion when going to turn into a
