Bookmark or Share- What is a Supergiant Star? (with pictures) - AllTheScienceSupergiants are stars with between 10 and 70 solar masses. They are among the most massive stars known, located at the top of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which maps star luminosity against spectral type.
- List of nearest supergiants - WikipediaWhile supergiants are typically defined as stars with luminosity classes Ia, Iab or Ib, other definitions exist, such as those based on stellar evolution. [1] Therefore, stars with other luminosity classes can sometimes be considered supergiants.
- Red supergiant - WikipediaRed supergiants (RSGs) are stars with a supergiant luminosity class (Yerkes class I) and a stellar classification K or M. [1] They are the largest stars in the universe in terms of volume, although they are not the most massive or luminous.
- Hypergiants, Supergiants and Normal Giant StarsGiant Stars, including Super Giants and Hypergiants, are stars that are larger compared to other stars of the same temperature. Giants are the smaller group, followed by Super Giant and Hyper. Our Sun is surprisingly classed as a Dwarf Star because it is much smaller than some giants.
- Supergiant star | Massive, Luminous, Bright | Britannicasupergiant star, any star of very great intrinsic luminosity and relatively enormous size, typically several magnitudes brighter than a giant star and several times greater in diameter. The distinctions between giants (see also giant star), supergiants, and other classes are made in practice by examining certain lines in the stars’ spectra.
