A neutron star is already the remains of a massive star that has run out of fuel.

What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?

Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.


What are two types of stars that can form when a star runs out of fuel?

When a Star runs out of fuel, it will expand into what is known as a "Red Giant". Massive stars will become "Red Supergiants". This phase will last until the star exhausts its remaining fuel. At this point, the pressure of the nuclear reaction is not strong enough to equalize the force of gravity and the star will collapse. Go to related link to read more about Stars... ;)


Where do neutron stars form?

Neutron stars could form in places where there are high-mass stars. After the star runs out of fuel in its core, the core collapses while the shell explodes into the space as supernova. The core would then become a neutron star, it might also become a black hole if it is massive enough.


Will our sun end up like a neutron star?

No, our sun is not massive enough to become a neutron star. When our sun runs out of fuel, it will shed its outer layers and become a planetary nebula, leaving behind a dense core called a white dwarf.


How are neutron stars formed?

Neutron stars are formed when stars with more than 8 times the mass of the Sun run out of fuel and explodes as a supernova. After the star explodes, the core of the star remains, the core would then become a neutron star or a black hole. If the core remain is less than 3 times the mass of the sun, it would become a neutron star.


Describe what happens to a small star a medium star and a giant star when each runs out of fuel?

While it has fuel, the radiation will produce pressure, that keeps the star inflated. When it runs out of fuel, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole - depending on how much mass is left in the star.


What did the flag mean to the American colonists during the revolutionary war?

The distance between the crest of one wave of electromagnetic radiation and the crest of the next one is its frequency/ when a star runs out of fuel, it caanoot become a neutron star.


Can a neutron star become a nebula?

No, a neutron star can't become a nebula. A neutron star is not made of atomic matter, has less mass than a nebula, and has no mechanism by which to expand.


How does a star turns into a neutron star?

A star 8 time the mass of the Sun turns into a neutron star when it run out of fuel, become a supergiant, and undergo supernova explosion. After the explosion, a core remains. If the core is less than 3 Solar masses, it becomes a neutron star, or else it becomes a black hole.


What makes a star lose its shine?

A star can lose its shine as it runs out of fuel and expands into a red giant, or collapses into a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. This process is part of the star's natural life cycle and can result in changes in its brightness and appearance.


The death of a star occurs when its?

The death of a star occurs when its nuclear fusion processes can no longer sustain the outward pressure generated by the energy produced in its core. This can lead to the star collapsing under its own gravity, culminating in a supernova explosion or the formation of a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole depending on its mass.


What is the difference between stars that become dwarf stars and stars that become neutron stars?

A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.
