What else can I help you with?
What determines a star becomes a white dwarf neutron star or a black hole?
its original mass when it formed
When a white dwarf star no longer emits energy what does it become?
When a white dwarf star no longer emits energy, it becomes a black dwarf. Black dwarfs are theoretical end points of stellar evolution where all nuclear reactions have ceased, and the star has cooled down to the background temperature of the universe.
What happens to the core of a star after a planetary nebula occurs?
After a planetary nebula occurs, the core of the star collapses and becomes a white dwarf. This white dwarf slowly cools down over billions of years until it eventually becomes a cold, dark remnant known as a black dwarf.
When a star has no fuel left and it's outer layers escape into space it is what?
It is dead. It becomes a black dwarf, just a rock.
Can a mid sized star become a or a black dwarf?
Yes, a mid-sized star can eventually become a white dwarf or a black dwarf. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, the star sheds its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf. Over trillions of years, a white dwarf may cool and fade into a black dwarf, although this process would take longer than the current age of the universe.
What do you think the difference is between a black dwarf and a supernova explosion?
A black dwarf is a dead white dwarf. By dead, I mean a star that no longer burns. A white dwarf, in turn, is a dead "moderate" star (a star like our sun). So a black dwarf is a star that's died twice, with mass not much higher or probably lower than that of our sun. A supernova, is the "death" of a star that's really huge. By huge, I mean it has a mass that's considerably higher than that of our sun. That kind of star doesn't turn into a white dwarf. Rather, it becomes either a neutron star (pulsar or non-pulsar) or a black hole.
What is a explosive death of a star?
a supernova, and that's not a "death", because it becomes a black dwarf (it is still a star, but it doesn't shine because it doesn't have any gases to burn anymore)Answera supernova, and that's not a "death", because it becomes a black dwarf (it is still a star, but it doesn't shine because it doesn't have any gases to burn anymore)

What does a black dwarf burn?
A black dwarf does not burn anything. A black dwarf is the cooled remnant of a dead star.
Is a dead star the some as a black dwarf?
No, a dead star is different from a black dwarf. A black dwarf is a type of stellar remnant, but not all stars become black dwarfs. When a star dies it will leave behind a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black dwarf as a remnant depending on its mass. Given enough time a white dwarf will eventually cool to a black dwarf. The universe is not old enough for this cooling to have happened yet.
How long will it take for a brown dwarf to become a black dwarf?
A brown dwarf will never become a black dwarf. A black dwarf is what becomes of a white dwarf. This process takes hundreds of trillions of years.
Steps in the life of a star?
the steps in the life of a star is the yellow dwarf,red giant,white dwarf & the black dwarf.
