The red giant and the white dwarf these two stages of life can
be found in stars.
- A red giant is a stellar body created once a star runs out of hydrogen and begins to burn through the helium at its core.
- The white dwarf is a star that is exhausted from all fusion materials and is now starting to cool.
- Both bodies are among the final(last) stages of a star's life cycle.
- White dwarfs and red giants both form from small to medium stars that have reached the beginning of the end of their life cycles.
- But these two stages still represent different stages of a star’s life.
- The main difference between a white dwarf and a red giant is that the latter still engages in fusion processes.
- These stellar bodies have burned through their hydrogen supplies, but a red giant continues fusion with the helium that is at its core.
- A red giant will transform into a white dwarf once its helium supply will stop.
- A white dwarf is the final stage of a star’s life cycle before it becomes a dead lump of carbon also called a black dwarf.

Answer:
The two stages of life that can be found in stars are the red giant and the white dwarf.
- The stellar body that results after a star exhausts its hydrogen supply and starts to consume the helium in its core is known as a red giant. The white dwarf is a star that has used up all of its fusion fuel and is currently beginning to cool. The last stages of a star's life cycle include both bodies.
Explanation:
- Red giants and white dwarfs are both examples of stars in their last stages of development. When a star runs out of hydrogen, it is no longer able to complete the nuclear fusion process in its core, and these stellar objects are created.
- Both of these processes are quite quiet and subdued in comparison to this phase of the life cycle of a big star, which may go through a supernova explosion.
- The distinction is that a bigger star has enough gravity to sustain carbon- or oxygen-based fusion.
- As a result, these bigger stars are able to create elements like iron that are more likely to trigger a supernova.
