The white dwarf will cool down till it becomes a black dwarf.

If it's part of a close binary with a main sequence, giant or supergiant, the white dwarf can gain mass from the other star. This can start fusion of carbon in the white dwarf. Other fusion reactions quickly follow, causing it to explode. This is known as type 1a supernova.

Does a star change during its life cylcle?

Yes, a star undergoes significant changes throughout its life cycle. It is born from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust, transforms through nuclear fusion, and eventually dies, either collapsing into a dense core (like a white dwarf or neutron star) or exploding in a supernova. Each stage brings about different characteristics and behaviors in the star.

What will be the end stage in the life cycle of our sun?

The end stage of our Sun's life cycle will be as a red giant, during which it will expand significantly, eventually shedding its outer layers. This process will leave behind a hot core, which will become a white dwarf. Over billions of years, this white dwarf will cool and fade, ultimately becoming a cold, dark remnant known as a black dwarf, although this stage will take longer than the current age of the universe to occur.


What is a stellar cycle?

A stellar cycle refers to the regular pattern in which a star goes through various stages of its life, such as the changes in energy output, size, and temperature over time. This cycle is influenced by the star's mass and can involve phases like main sequence, red giant, and white dwarf stages. The Sun, for example, is currently in the middle of its stellar cycle as a main sequence star.
