What is the correct order of a star's life cycle?

Answer 1

A star can begin as either an average sized star or a massive star. -average size -expands and becomes a red giant -cools and contracts, becomes a white dwarf star -massive sized stars -swell and become red supergiants -explode (called a supernova) Then it may -start over as a new start -become a black hole -become a neutron star

Answer 2

A brief summary of the usual stages:

1) Stellar Nebula.

2) Protostar.

3) Main-Sequence Star.

4) Red giant (formed by low mass stars) OR Supergiant (from high mass stars).

5) Red giant becomes White Dwarf then Black Dwarf.

OR Supergiant becomes Supernova then Neutron Star or Black hole.

There are other possibilities too, but that's an outline of the main ones.

Also this summary is a bit simplified to avoid too much detail.

Answer 3

Low mass star:

1. Nebula
2. Protostar
3. Main Sequence
4. Red Giant (a Red dwarf star misses out this stage)
5. White Dwarf
6. Black Dwarf

High mass star:

1. Nebula
2. Protostar
3. Main Sequence
4. Red Super Giant
5. Supernova
6. Neutron Star or Black Hole

We are in the main sequence stage.

Answer 4

Stars seem to start as clouds of gas, which are either drawn together by mutual gravity or disturbed by a shock from nearby supernova and then condense.

If there is enough mass in the new star, it begins fusion in its core (if not, it becomes a failed star, called a brown dwarf, or even a planet). The amount of mass is what determines the rest of its life.

If it's very massive, the core fusion is intense and the star burns up very quickly (from the perspective of stars) - perhaps in a million years. If its smaller and burns slower, like our Sun, it continues for billion of years and if just over the minimum mass (about 8% of that of the Sun), it become a red dwarf and can last a trillion years (or so we think; nothing's actually been around that long yet).

Small stars will eventually run out of fuel and have sort of a "last gasp" during whichi they will swell up into red giants, blow off a lot of their atmospheres and their cores will continue as dwarfs.

Great stars with blow up in spectacular events called supernovae. Their remnates will be wonderfully dense bodies called "neutron stars," as massive as the Sun but smaller than the Earth. Slightly less massive stars will become Earth-sized "white dwarfs," which will eventually cool into dark dense bodies. Extremely massive stars may -- this is weird -- contract into such density that they suck themselves out of space altogether and become surrounded by "black holes."

Answer 5

As gas collapses, it heats up. Eventually it gets hot enough to shine. This stage the star is known as a protosun, and represent the first step in a nascent star. Smaller stars might shine about a million years before nuclear ignition (fusion) begins, with is the birth of a true star.

Answer 6

Red dwarf stars are known to be the longest living stars. A red dwarf, created close to the big bang (13.7 billion years ago) would still be "burning" today.

They live so long, that no one knows what will happen to them when all of the hydrogen is exhausted.

Answer 7

Nebula, main sequence, red giant, white dwarf, black dwarf, or supernova, neutron star, or black hole and the center of the supernova turns into a nebula.

Answer 8

1. Birth: Protostar
2. Life: Main Sequence
3. Maturity: Red Giants etc.
4. Death: White dwarfs etc.
