I believe if its over a certain mass it becomes 2 forms of super giant, then usually becomes supernova and cause a black hole. If under a certain mass it may expand slightly but then become a black or white dwarf star.

Mass


If a star dies what happens?

it depends on the mass. If the star is small and it dies then it will turn into a red giant then a white dwarf. But if the star has enough mass and is bigger than any other star then it will collapse and turn into a black hole.


How do you know what star becomes when it dies?

You will know what a star becomes when it dies based off of its mass. If the mass of the star is less than, around, or slightly greater than the sun's mass, it will become a white dwarf. If the mass of the star is a few solar masses, a supernova will happen and a neutron star will be created. If the mass of the star is many times that of the sun, it will explode in a giant supernova called a hypernova and create a black hole.


Which two factors determine the characteristics of a star?

The two main factors that determine the characteristics of a star are its mass and its age. The mass of a star determines its temperature, size, luminosity, and lifespan. A star's age affects its stage in its life cycle, such as whether it is a young, main-sequence star or an older red giant.


What are the two things a supergiant star may become when it dies?

When a supergiant star exhausts its nuclear fuel and dies, it may explode in a supernova event. Depending on its mass, the remnants can either collapse into a neutron star or form a black hole. The outcome is determined by the star's initial mass and the processes occurring during the supernova explosion.


What remains after a low-mass or medium-mass star dies?

After a low-mass or medium-mass star dies, it will typically leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf. A white dwarf is a dense, Earth-sized core made primarily of carbon and oxygen. It gradually cools and fades over billions of years.


What will happen to a star when it dies?

It will explode as a supernova and fade away, leaving a neutron star or a black hole. That's only if the star is "high mass". For low mass stars like our Sun there's no explosion. This type of star will become a white dwarf star.


One way in which scientists can determine the surface temperature of a star is by its A. brightness. B. composition. C. color. D. mass.?

its color does determine the temperature of star.


What happens when a high mass star dies?

It will implode under its own incredible weight and create a blackhole.


What factors determine how long a star lives?

the stars amount of mass


What two major factors determine the size of a star?

The two major factors that determine the size of a star are its mass and its age. A star's mass dictates how much material there is to form the star, while its age influences the stage of its life cycle, which in turn affects its size.


What will the star turn into when it dies?

Depending on the mass of whatever is left over of a star, it can turn into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or - in the case of the most massive stars - a black hole.
