Description: The Structure of an Old Low-Mass Star
Near the end of its life, a low-mass star, like the Sun, travels up the AGB and
becomes a supergiant. (The Sun will be about as large as the diameter of
Earth’s orbit.) The star’s inert core, the hydrogen-fusing shell, and the
helium-fusing shell are contained within a volume roughly the size of Earth.
The inner layers are not shown to scale here
