What would happen if the sun was red?

As our star ends its life, it will swell far beyond its current size, and as it does so, it will transition into a Red Giant. During this transformation, the sun will melt our glaciers and (eventually) boil our oceans. This expanding Sun will engulf the Earth, and any life that remains along with it.

What Colour would plants be if the sun was blue?

Around stars hotter and bluer than our sun, plants would tend to absorb blue light and could look green to yellow to red.

What would Earth be like with a red sun?

Even if the Earth were to survive being consumed, its new proximity to the the intense heat of this red sun would scorch our planet and make it completely impossible for life to survive.

How does the sun affect the color of plants?

Light intensity influences the manufacture of plant food, stem length, leaf color and flowering. Generally speaking, plants grown in low light tend to be spindly with light green leaves. A similar plant grown in very bright light tends to be shorter, better branches, and have larger, dark green leaves.

Earth may just outrun the swelling red giant but its proximity, and the resulting rise in temperature, will probably destroy all life on Earth, and possibly the planet itself.

The radiation involved would be large, so the planet would need to have a proportionate amount of protection. Human life could survive, but of the star sheds its outer layer or goes supernova, the civilization is finished.
