What does a red dwarf sun burn?
Like all main sequence stars, a red dwarf is powered by the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
What does a red dwarf turn into after being a red dwarf?
A white dwarf. Basically, a red dwarf just gets cooler and cooler until it has consumed all of its hydrogen. Then it becomes a white dwarf star. It will then dissipate any remaining heat into space and eventually become a "black dwarf".
Can Sirius b burn hydrogen as fuel?
No. Sirius B is a white dwarf. It is the remnant of a star that used up its supply of hydrogen.
What makes up a red dwarf?
Like any other main sequence star, a red dwarf is made up of hydrogen and helium plasma.
What is a blue dwarf?
A blue dwarf is a hypothetical type of star that develops from a red dwarf after it has exhausted much of its hydrogen fuel supply. Since red dwarf stars fuse hydrogen slowly and are fully convective (allowing a larger percentage of their total hydrogen supply to be fused), the current age of the universe is not old enough for any blue dwarfs to have formed yet.
What makes up a red dwarf star?
A red dwarf is just like what most main-sequence stars are made of, they are mainly made up of hydrogen and helium.
How are the sun and a red dwarf similar?
Both the sun and a red dwarf are main sequence stars that produce heat and light by fusing hydrogen in their core and turning it into helium.
The fuel for fusion in the sun's core?
hydrogen atoms join to form helium. no hydrogen= red giant=white dwarf= DEAD
What is the supernova of a red dwarf?
According to prevailing astronomical theory, red dwarfs do not become supernovae, so the best answer to the question is "nonexistant."
What is a large star that has the word red in it?
A Red Giant occurs when a star like our sun runs out of hydrogen to burn, so it uses helium. Helium is harder to fuse, so the star swells and expands, turning red. Eventually, the star runs out of helium, and shrinks down into a white dwarf, a teaspoons worth of white dwarf matter would weigh as much as an Elephant on Earth.
What kind of stars form red giants?
when Dwarf Stars run out of hydrogen they form Red Giant stars, then from that they become White dwarf stars when the outer layers shed, forming a planetary nebula.when giant stars or supergiant stars run out of hydrogen they form red supergiant stars
How many Red Dwarf stars do astronomers estimate have burnt out since the beginning of the universe?
Basically, none. Red dwarf stars have a lifetime that is much larger than the age of the Universe.Actually, if a lot of additional mass falls on a red dwarf star, it would start to burn more quickly. But then, of course, it would no longer be a red dwarf star.
