What is a ring-shaped shell of gas around a star called?
Planetary Nebula
How was the boomerang nebula formed?
The Boomerang Nebula is a planetary nebula [See related question]. It would have been formed when a medium sized star came to the end of it's life and in that process shed off layers of material from the star. This created the nebula we see today.
How long does a stellar nebula live for?
most of the times a planetary nebula lives for 5,000 years
When a low-mass star nears the end of its life it ejects shells of gas into space forming?
A Planetary Nebula
Where does most of a red giant go when the star becomes a white dwarf?
The white dwarf still has a lot of mass ( about 80% of the original star), but it only has a small size( less than two Earths). A huge volume of material forms a nebula which gradually disperses. This type of nebula is (confusingly) called a "planetary nebula".
What Creates a planetary nebula?
A planetary nebula is created by a dying low to medium mass star as it sheds its outer layers of gas.
What happens after a planetary nebula is seen?
After a planetary nebula the oxygen in the middle will make it turn into a blackhole or neutron star.
What is left when a planetary nebula dissipates?
A White Dwarf Star remains.
What happens to the core of a star after a planetary nebula occurs?
It becomes a white dwarf.
What is a ring-shaped shell of gas around a star called?
Planetary Nebula
Is planet nebula real?
The correct term is planetary nebula. Such nebulae form when a low to medium mass star dies.
What is the ejected outer layers of a dying low-mass star called?
planetary nebula
What is the ejected outer layers of a dying low-mass star call?
planetary nebula
What are the developments of a star?
1. Nebula 2.Protostar 3.Main-Sequence star 4.Expanding star 5.Red giant 6.Planetary Nebula 7.White dwarf
Is planetary nebula a misnomer?
Planetary nebula is a misnomer because it's a nebula but it has nothing to do with planets, it's about stars.
What is the cycle of the stars?
Stellar Nebula - Average Star- Red Giant - Planetary Nebula - White Dwarf Stellar Nebula - Massive Star - Red Super Giant - Super Nova- Neutron Star Stellar Nebula - Massive star - Red Super Giant -Super Nova - Black Hole
What is an ejected envelop of a red giant star?
Typically it is called a planetary nebula. It has nothing to do with planets.
