Stars several times more massive then the sun have a simpler, quicker, and more spectacular evolutionary sequence. Because super giants are so massive, the core temperature gets much hotter than in giants, so supergiants can fuse elements heavier than hydrogen and helium.
supergiant stars can have masses from 10 to 70 times greater than our sun, and when it comes to Brightness, some of them can be 30,000 times brighter than our sun. the temperature range of supergiant stars spans from around 3,450k to 20,000k.
