Giant star

A single giant star depicted as a very large swollen luminous sphere or disk, clearly larger in diameter than a typical main-sequence star. It has warm yellow, yellow-orange, orange, or orange-red coloration, a bright glowing photosphere, a smooth to slightly diffuse circular edge with subtle limb darkening, and a soft extended hazy halo suggesting an expanded outer envelope. The surface may appear mostly smooth or show faint mottled texture and gentle radial shading to emphasize its enlarged, luminous appearance. Style: clean scientific clipart, smooth radial shading, soft diffuse halo, minimal surface texture.
