No, unless it somehow acquires more mass. It requires more mass to become a neutron star.

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.


Will our sun end up like a neutron star?

No, our sun is not massive enough to become a neutron star. When our sun runs out of fuel, it will shed its outer layers and become a planetary nebula, leaving behind a dense core called a white dwarf.


Low mass stars will become a when they die. A high mass star will end up as a or a?

A low mass star will become a white dwarf star, eventually this will cool to become a black dwarf. A high mass star (at least 8 times the mass of our Sun) will form a neutron star or a black hole, after a supernova event.


What will happen when a star exhausts its remaining fuel?

When a star exhausts its remaining fuel, it will undergo a series of transformations based on its mass. For example, a massive star will undergo a supernova explosion, leaving behind a neutron star or black hole. A lower-mass star like the Sun will expand into a red giant, shed its outer layers as a planetary nebula, and eventually form a white dwarf.


Why does the companion star wrap around the nuetron star?

The extreme gravitational field of the neutron star...an object with typically 4 to 8 times the mass of our sun, packed into a diameter of about eight miles...pulls mass off of any close companion star, which spirals into the neutron star. If the companion star is close enough, it may over time totally disintegrate and be consumed by the neutron star, which itself may become massive enough to finally become a stellar "black hole", an object whose surface escape velocity would be greater than the speed of light, so that nothing, not even light, can escape beyond its "event horizon".

Does the sun eventually become a neutron star?

No, the sun will not become a neutron star. Neutron stars form from the remnants of massive stars that have undergone a supernova explosion. The sun is not massive enough to undergo this process and will instead evolve into a white dwarf.


Would an average mass main sequence star like our sun eventually become a neutron star black hole?

sup.


Will our sun become a black hole or a neutron star?

Neither. Our Sun will turn into a red giant, and then cool to become a white dwarf.


Why will the sun never become a neutron star?

The Sun will never leave behind a stellar remnant such as a neutron star, as it does not have enough mass to achieve the massive pressures required to make one. Our Sun will end up as a white dwarf stellar remnant.


Can our sun become a neutron star?

No. it is not massive enough. When the sun dies it will become a white dwarf.


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.


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.


The minimum mass of a star required for it to become a neutron star is?

Approximately 1.4 times the mass of the sun, known as the Chandrasekhar limit, is required for a star to become a neutron star. If a star has a mass greater than this limit, it will likely undergo a supernova explosion and collapse into a neutron star.


How are neutron stars formed?

Neutron stars are formed when stars with more than 8 times the mass of the Sun run out of fuel and explodes as a supernova. After the star explodes, the core of the star remains, the core would then become a neutron star or a black hole. If the core remain is less than 3 times the mass of the sun, it would become a neutron star.


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.


Will our sun end up like a neutron star?

What is the stages of a star?

a star of about sun's mass will become a white dwarf star and will fade slowly into a black dwarf. a star of sun's 1.4 to 3 time the mass of the sun will become a neutron star. a star of more than 3 times of mass of the sun will become a black hole. hopes its help!!
