Red giants are the largest type of star. Their great size is caused by expanding outer layers. This occurs toward the end of a star's life cycle, when some of its hydrogen has been converted to helium, creating pressure in the core that pushes layers outward. Large and bright red giants, such as the star Betelgeuse, are known as supergiants. These supergiants are 100 to 1,000 times larger in diameter than our sun.

Which type of detail is used to support the main idea ("red giants are the largest type of star")?

• Examples

• Sensory Details

• Facts and Statistics
