Why do some stars become white dwarfs and others become neutron stars and black holes?
Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star
What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
Will a neutron star eventually go supernova?
No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.
What determines whether a very massive star will become a neutron?
Whether a star will become a neutron star is determined by its mass. Generally, stars that are more than 8 solar masses (have a mass that is more than 8 times that of our Sun), but are less than 15 solar masses will become neutron stars when they die.
Will all stars that become supernovae leave behind a neutron star?
No, some leave a black hole instead of a neutron star.
Do medium size stars become black holes?
No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.
Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?
Stars with a low to medium mass will become white dwarfs. Massive stars will become neutron stars or black holes.
What is the difference between stars that become white dwarfs stars that become neutron stars and stars that become black holes?
The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.
Why do some stars become white dwarfs and others become neutron stars and black holes?
Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star
What is made when stars die?
There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.
Do massive stars become neutron stars?
Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.
What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.
Could an average stars such as our sun become a neutron star?
No. Stars such as our sun become white dwarfs. Only stars 8-10 times the mass of the sun or more become neutron stars.
Will the sun turn into a neutron star?
No. It does not have enough mass. Only stars 8 times the mass of the sun or greater can become neutron stars. The sun will become a white dwarf.
What is the difference between stars that become dwarf stars and stars that become neutron stars?
A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.
Do stars die?
Yes, eventually they all burn out. Stars with less than three solar masses will become a neutron star. These are extremely, extremely dense forms. Any larger and the star will become a black hole after going supernova.
Low-mass and medium-mass stars eventually?
Low and medium sized stars will end up as white dwarfs.
