Humongous

Not very helpful! Plenty of stars are 20x the Sun's mass and don't necessarily "become" anything, but the answer you are probably looking for is supernova.

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!!


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 does a star with eight times the mass of your sun become?

a white dwarf


When the star die what did it become?

During last ages of life of a star, to find what happens in coming ages of life of star. It determines on its mass explained by chandrashekher that if the mass of given star is 2.42 times the mass of our sun then it explodes in the form of supernova. If the mass of given star is less than the 2.42 times the mass of our sun then it shrinks to become white dwarf.


Do the sun will eventually become a neutron star?

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


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 is the average density of a neutron star that has the same mass as the sun?

An object of one solar mass cannot become a neutron star.


Is the sun a high mass star?

no the sun is a medium mass star.


Is the sun a low mass or high mass sequence star?

The sun is an intermediate-mass star.


Is the sun a lower mass star or a higher mass star and which stage is it in?

The Sun is a medium mass star on the main sequence.


What determines how large a star gets?

Their mass. If its mass is nearly like of sun it will become red giant. If its much bigger, it will become super giant


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.
