A red giant is a type of star that has fused all the hydrogen in its core. It swells in size as it fuses the heavier elements into even heavier elements and eventually turn into a white dwarf. Sometimes, if the Red Giant is 1.25 Solar Masses, it will go supernova and turn into a neutron star or black hole. The sun is expected turn into a Red Giant in approximately 5,000,000,000 years
