Stellar evolution

We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.

Red Shift

It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.

We will take a moment to compare how brightly a white dwarf star shines compared to a red giant star. For the sake of this problem, lets assume a white dwarf has a temperature roughly twice as large as a red giant star. As for their stellar radii, the white dwarf has a radius about 1/10000th that of a red giant star. With this in mind, how does the luminosity of a red giant star compare to that of a white dwarf? (Put differently, find the ratio of their luminosities a.k.a. how many times more luminous is the red giant than the white dwarf? An answer of less than 1 means the white dwarf is more luminous, an answer of 1 means they have the same luminosity, and an answer greater than 1 means the red giant is more lu
