Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?
Stars with a low to medium mass will become white dwarfs. Massive stars will become neutron stars or black holes.
What determines the evolution of a star?
The mass of a star affects the lifespan of the star. The less the mass, the longer life span of the star. More massive stars burn up their fuel more quickly than the smaller stars. As the massive stars begin to burn the fuel and become smaller, the life span increases.
Medium size stars in the red giant phase become what?
After the Red Dwarf phase, the life of the star ends. It begins to shed its outer layers into a cloud, called a planetary nebula, until only about 20% of the star's mass remains. The star will then continue to cool and shrink until it becomes a White Dwarf.
What does each star explode into?
The life of a high mass star goes like this: A nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a high-mass protostar the protostar ages into high-mass, very hot star that hot star explodes into a supergiant, which proceeds to explode into a supernova the supernova then shrinks into a neutron star or a black hole the life of a low- or medium-mass star goes like this: a nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a low-mass protostar the protostar ages into a low- or medium- mass,cool star the star explodes into a red giant, the red giant explodes into a planetary nebula the nebula shrinks into a white dwarf, which then dims into a black dwarf i hope i was able to answer your question.
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 a low or medium mass of star becomes and what at the end of its life?
Most medium size stars become recluses. One example of a medium to large star's fate is Marlon Brando.
How does a blue star become a yellow star?
It can't. A blue star is a high-mass star. A yellow star has a medium mass.
Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?
Stars with a low to medium mass will become white dwarfs. Massive stars will become neutron stars or black holes.
Is the sun a high mass star?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
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.
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.
Is the sun a high mass?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
What might be the end point of a star with a mass larger than the sun?
It can become a white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass that remains at the end of the star's life.
What remains after a low-mass or medium-mass star dies?
white dwarf
Is Sirius a medium mass star?
Yes, Sirius is about twice as massive as our sun, making it a medium mass star. It is quite a bit brighter, however, and is the second brightest star in our sky.
Are white dwarf stars a low mass star?
A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
