English term or phrase: engulf Mars
The most luminous stars (excluding supernovas) are about a million times more powerful than the sun, while the least luminous are only one hundredth as powerful red giants, the largest stars, are hundredths of times greater in size than the sun; if one were placed at the sun’s position, it would engulf Mars (поглотить Марс? уместно ли звучит в научной статье?).
