What else can I help you with?
What would happen to the sun when it dies?
Convert into a dwarf white star which is really hot, then a neutron star, and finally, a black hole.
What will happen if the sun will lost its fuel?
If the sun were to run out of fuel, it would eventually expand into a red giant, consuming Mercury and Venus, and possibly Earth. After this phase, it would shed its outer layers to become a planetary nebula, leaving behind its core as a white dwarf. The white dwarf would slowly cool and fade away over billions of years.
What will happen to the star Proycon when it runs out of fuel?
That would be "Procyon". Since its mass is only about 1.5 times the mass of our Sun, I would expect it to become a white dwarf.
The sun will eventually end up as a?
white dwarf star
Is the Sun a white dwarf before becoming its present size?
No. In about 7.5 billion years the Sun will become a white dwarf.
What would happen if a white dwarf collided with the sun?
In one way, yes. If the white dwarf is in a close binary system with another star, when that star expands into a red giant, the white dwarf can start siphoning gas from it. Eventually the heat and pressure of the accumulated gas ignites nuclear fusion, triggering a Type 1a supernova.
Is the sun in the collection of white dwarf stars?
No, the sun is a main sequence star, not a white dwarf. White dwarfs are the remnants of smaller stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and collapsed. The sun will eventually evolve into a white dwarf in about 5 billion years.
Will the sun become a white dwarf in the next 20 years?
No. It will become a white dwarf in about 7.5 billion years time.
What is the order from smallest to largest sun supernova red giant white dwarf?
White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova
Will the sun be a white dwarf for the rest of eternity?
No, the sun will eventually evolve into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and becoming a white dwarf. The white dwarf stage marks the end of its evolution, where it will slowly cool down over billions of years.
Why would a supergiant have a brighter absolute magintude than a white dwarf?
A supergiant is much larger than a white dwarf. A supergiant can be 10 to 70 times the size of our Sun, whereas a white dwarf is only about the size of the Earth.
White Dwarf is one of the final stages in?
A stars evolution. Our Sun will go yellow dwarf -> red giant -> white dwarf -> black dwarf.
