While I may not be an astronomer im pretty sure mass loss does not cause a red giant to become a blue giant. Indomei ( talk) 00:18, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
-- I'm pretty certain they mean that a blue giant will become a red giant or if it looses mass it will then become a blue super giant. SamuelR-NJITWILL ( talk) 19:05, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
I took the liberty of moving the following unsigned comment into this thread from a thread with the same name (and then replying to it) - A yellow / orange star, in the succession of death, will become a Red Giant star. Arcturus will expand, grow colder and then "implode" toward a cold white dwarf star. This article has it backwards. Orange stars don't become Blue Giants!
This article is seriously short on references. Can anyone think of a reason not to delete all the unreferenced text? Jeepday 04:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC) Hahaha... I didn't check the history, but it looks like the references were added by a third grader. Which isn't necessarily bad, but it is terribly ambiguous confusing and lacking in context.

I've restored the planet info to the article. Yellow giants don't have their own article: The Yellow giant section of this article is the only place to put info about Yellow giants until a separate article is created. Almost all articles about types of star have a section listing a few examples of planets that orbit that type of star. For many types of star only a handful of planets are known. Examples of known planets around a star type seems very pertinent information to include in articles on star types. On this article the planet section sticks out because this is the only star type that doesn't have its own page. Astredita ( talk) 05:09, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
At least as described in Wikipedia - peer-reviewed references are thin on the ground:

I am wondering if there is an appropriate summary or table that might be added to help with a question like this? Red giant mass and radius to approximate main sequence mass and radius, for instance. Greenbound ( talk) 06:10, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
