Stars expand in size to become red giants, when they start running low on Hydrogen fuel.

Can a star get larger?

Yes. Most stars will expand to many times their original size when they run out of hydrogen in their cores.


What do blue stars expand to become?

Blue stars expand to become red supergiants. This expansion occurs as they near the end of their life cycle and undergo changes in their core structure leading to increased size and brightness. Ultimately, blue stars can end their lives in a supernova explosion.


Why do stars expand and contract in size?

Stars expand and contract in size due to the balance between gravitational forces pulling inwards and internal pressures pushing outwards. When nuclear fusion in the core of a star produces energy, it creates an outward pressure that can cause the star to expand. As the star's core exhausts its fuel, the outward pressure decreases, causing the star to contract under its own gravity.


How is the black hole made?

Stars want to expand when they are active, but their high gravity keeps them the right size. When stars are too old they stop expanding, and its gravity makes it very small. If an object has too much mass for its size, it is a black hole.


Is compress the opposite of expand?

The word 'compress' is the opposite of 'expand'.


Is google bigger than eleventy yellow?

yes. size is proportionate to color. as stars cool, they expand. a blue star thus cools into a yellow star while simultaneously expanding


Which are the names and size of the stars?

There are countless stars.


What cause proto stars to expand?

Proto stars expand primarily due to the gravitational forces acting on them as they accumulate mass. As they gather material from their surrounding molecular cloud, the increasing pressure and temperature at their core can lead to nuclear fusion. This process generates energy that counteracts gravitational collapse, causing the proto star to expand. Additionally, the balance between gravitational contraction and thermal pressure from nuclear reactions influences their size and stability during this phase.


Why do red giant stars expand?

Because they begin to run out of fuel


When stars get older do they shrink?

As stars age, they can go through a series of changes depending on their size. Smaller stars, like our Sun, will eventually expand into a red giant and then shed their outer layers to become a white dwarf, a process that doesn't involve shrinking. Larger stars may undergo a supernova explosion, leaving behind a neutron star or black hole.


How big are the little stars?

Little stars, also known as dwarf stars, can range in size from about one-tenth the size of our sun to around half the size of our sun. These stars are smaller and cooler than average stars like our sun.


Do all-stars have the same size why or why not?

Nope. It depends on how much matter the star was immersed in during its formation. More matter equals more size and vice versa.
