they can and they do.
some scintists think there may be planets orbiting red dwarfs that could support life. since red dwarfs live a very long time, there would be lots of time for cool stuff to evolve.
Stars can be red, orange, yellow, white, or blue, depending on their massiveness. Larger stars will be brighter and burn faster. A red star is not only possible, but the most numerous besides a brown dwarf which is not quite hot enough to be a star.
Such red giant stars do exist out there, the nearest examples of which include the stars Mira, Antares, Betelgeuse and Rasalgethi. These are red giant and super giant stars, the only things differentiating them being mass, size and luminosity. A low or medium mass star will become a red giant, a massive star becomes a red super giant. Low mass stars, those having a mass of 50 percent down to 8 percent of the Sun’s are red dwarfs. These stars are much smaller, fainter and denser than their more massive counterparts, but they’re the most numerous and longest lived stars in the Universe.
red giant stars.
It’s the last stage of a star’s death, where the shell is fusing hydrogen into helium, and the core is inactive helium.
they’re the colors of redish yellow, and red.
in about 5 billion years, our sun will turn into a red giant, and it’ll destroy all the inner planets, including… mercury,venus,earth,and mars. all that would be left is the outer planets.
yes many red suns exist,however any intelligent life around such a sun that came here would not have super powers just because of the different sun colors
