The sun is a star, and always has been.
It will turn into a giant star, explode, and turn into a nebula.
It will turn into a white dwarf star, after being a red giant star.
No, the sun is too small. For a star to turn into a black hole, the star needs to measure 25 or more solar masses. The sun weighs in at 1 solar mass. Therefore, a star needs to be 25 times the mass of the sun to turn into a black hole.
A star will die once it runs out of hydrogen. If the star is larger than 5 times the size of our sun, it will turn into a supernova while the rest of the material is condensed into a black hole. If the star was smaller, it will just turn into a white dwarf.
It will first become a red giant, then turn into a white dwarf and in billions and billions of years it will become a black dwarf.
They are the same thing. A sun is right here, while a star is VERY far away. But if we could build - WHEN we CAN build! - interstellar spacecraft, we will take off from the Earth, and we'll see our Sun nearby. When we get there, we will find a new sun in the sky - and our Sun will be a tiny star, far away!
No, The sun is seen as a sun and not a star. Our sun is a star.
No. The Sun is of fairly ordinary mass, and isn't NEARLY big enough to undergo a supernova explosion that would collapse the core to neutron star density. In fact, the minimum mass for a star that will die that way is about 3 times the mass of the Sun.
The Sun is a star.
The Sun is a 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.
