The Sun is a yellow dwarf. The term main sequence is a period in a stars life.

If the Sun was a black dwarf, we would have all died billions of years ago.

Is our sun a black dwarf?

No. The sun is a main sequence star. A black dwarf is the remnant of a dead star that has cooled. The universe is not old enough for this to have happened yet.


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!!


What do you think the difference is between a black dwarf and a supernova explosion?

A black dwarf is a dead white dwarf. By dead, I mean a star that no longer burns. A white dwarf, in turn, is a dead "moderate" star (a star like our sun). So a black dwarf is a star that's died twice, with mass not much higher or probably lower than that of our sun. A supernova, is the "death" of a star that's really huge. By huge, I mean it has a mass that's considerably higher than that of our sun. That kind of star doesn't turn into a white dwarf. Rather, it becomes either a neutron star (pulsar or non-pulsar) or a black hole.


Is a dwarf star bigger than your sun?

Depends what type of dwarf star. - Our Sun is a yellow dwarf.


Is the sun a massive star or a dwarf star?

its not a massive or a dwarf  star


What forms when the stars colape?

It depends on the size of the star. You could end up with a White Dwarf, a Neutron Star, or a Black Hole with a White Dwarf coming from the smaller star and and a Black Hole coming from the largest star. Our Sun will leave a White Dwarf when it burns out.


Will the sun become a white dwarf neutron star or a black hole?

The long-term fate of the sun according to current theories in stellar evolution, is to become a white dwarf. It lacks the mass to further collapse into a neutron star or black hole.


Which of these objects has the largest radius a 1.2M rm Sunwhite dwarf a 1.5M rm Sun neutron star a 3.0M rm Sun black hole?

1.2M sun white dwarf


Is a the sun a dwarf galaxy?

It is impossible for the sun to be a dwarf galaxy because the sun is a star. But if you're asking if it's a dwarf star, then no, otherwise we'd be dead.


What will happen if the sun will lost its fuel?

After the sun runs out of fuel is will become a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.


Is the sun a small dwarf star or a large dwarf star?

the sun is NOT a dwarf star, it is a g-type star. a dwarf is a s-type starThe Sun is a G2V star G2 means the second hottest of the yellow G class and V (the Roman numeral five) identifies the Sun as a main sequence DWARF STAR (so yes it is a dwarf star) A star with spectral S is a late-type giant star (similar to class K5-M).


Will the sun become a white dwarf a neutron star or a black hole and why?

According to current theories of stellar evolution, because of the Sun's mass and chemistry most likely it will become a white dwarf. It simply lacks the weight to become a neutron star or black hole.
