Question

What are the difference between a red giant and a red super giant

Answer 1

So, unlike red giants, red supergiants are simply bright, red stars. It so happens that they may be in the same evolutionary state, but it is also possible that they have moved on. For example, most massive stars will appear as red supergiants while helium is fused into carbon in the core.

Answer 2

Red giants are very large stars which are highly luminous and have an inflated outer surface with an approximate temperature of about 5000 degrees K or lower.

Whereas, Red supergiants are the largest stars in the whole universe in terms of volume but they are simply bright, red stars unlike the red giants.

Having said that, there are no agreed theoretical distinctions between the red giants and red supergiants so there is still a room for confusion to discriminate between the two.
