A red dwarf is just like what most main-sequence stars are made of, they are mainly made up of hydrogen and helium.
Like any other main sequence star, a red dwarf is made up of hydrogen and helium plasma.
No. While a red dwarf star is quite dim compared to the sun. Viewed from up close, such a star would still be blindingly bright.
It will turn into a white dwarf star, after being a red giant star.
Right now the sun is a main sequence star. When it uses up the hydrogen in its core it will become a red giant then shed its outer layers to become a white dwarf.
You might find a white dwarf and a red giant in a binary star system. A binary star system consists of two stars that orbit around a common center of mass. White dwarfs and red giants are common types of stars in the later stages of stellar evolution.
white dwarf star
When a red giant runs out of its fuel - helium - it will blow off its outer layers while the inner core collapses to form a white dwarf. The latter will gradually radiate away its energy to become a black dwarf.
Brown Dwarfs (maybe not true stars)Red Dwarfs (on the main sequence)Orange Dwarf (on the main sequence)Yellow Dwarfs (stars smaller than our sun but on the main sequence)White Dwarfs (old stars that have run out of hydrogen and are now off the main sequence)Neutron Stars (old large stars who's cores have collapsed during a supernova)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Red dwarf - Like Proxima Centauri.White dwarf - A degenerate star. The remains of a Sun like star.Yellow dwarf - A G type main sequence star, like our own SunBlue dwarf - A hypothetical star formed from a red dwarf.Brown dwarf - A star that did not have enough mass to initiate nuclear fusion.Black dwarf - A hypothetical star formed when a white dwarf has cooled to absolute zero.Orange dwarf. A K type main sequence star, like Alpha Centauri B
it affects the heat generated by the star because as the sun goes through it's life, it goes through stages and it heats up as the core of the star turns into carbon and it heats up to become a red giant, but after the star goes red giant, it will become a white dwarf some time later and then go out and become a black dwarf
Pollux is a close binary star system located in the constellation of Gemini. It consists of a red giant star as the primary component and a smaller dwarf star orbiting around it. The primary star is nearing the end of its life and has expanded to become a red giant.
The mass of the star
Well first of all the SUN is alive -orbits around planets - Medium sized - gives out heat Red Giant Not alive -floats around space -giant siZed -cool - fl
