How do stars begin and end their lives?
Sometimes a blue giant star will explode at the end of its life and and if there happens to be a chunk of leftover star substance, a new star will be created.
The Sun will eventually end up as a what?
Earth's sun is currently a main sequence star which has a small mass. Eventually it will expand into Red Giant star once the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium gas. After the Red Giant phase, the star throws off its outer layers and then becomes a planetary nebula. A sun-like star will either become a white dwarf or black dwarf following the planetary nebula.
What is the next step after a red giant?
Learning about stars can be fun. A red giant star is a star with a mass like the Sun, after it runs out of fuel it can become a white dwarf or end as a supernova.
How can a star having 5 times the suns mass end as a white dwarf?
It is true that a white dwarf above about 1.4 solar masses cannot exist. When a star dies, most of the mass does not become part of the remnant. A star 5 times the mass of the sun will shed most of its mass during the red giant phase. Only the innermost portion will collapse to form a white dwarf.
What event occurs at the end of the protostar stage of a star's life?
red dwarf
Which phase of life cycle of a star at its end?
super giant.

What happens at the end of the response phase?
scene stabilization
What is a big star is coming to the end of its life?
A red giant.
When does a red star become a red giant?
A star become a red giant when the core contracts, the temperature increases and the outer layers of the star begin to expand. By the end of this phase, the star can be 10 to 100 times it diameter. When the temperature in the core reaches 100 000 000°C, the helium start fusing into carbon. Because the star has expanded to such an enormous size, that the outer layer are much cooler than when the star was a main sequence star. It therefore appears red, earning the name of red giant.
What kind of star the sun will become in the end of the cycle?
red giant

What is the explosion that occurs at the end of a giant star's life?
That would be a super-nova
What happens to the centromeres at the end of this phase to initiate the next phase?
The answer is:They divide.~Good luck noveNET people. =]
Which is earths sun a yellow star or a red giant?
A yellow star. The Sun is definitely not a red giant; if it were to swell to the size of a red giant (like Antares, for example), our Earth would end up inside the Sun.
Where in the life of a star does a blue giant belong?
I don't know about blue giants, but red giants are at the end of a star's life.
What is the next step after a red giant?
Learning about stars can be fun. A red giant star is a star with a mass like the Sun, after it runs out of fuel it can become a white dwarf or end as a supernova.
