What else can I help you with?
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.
When stars run out of fuel it collapses on itself and becomes what?
A white dwarf. Actually, it depends on the size of the star in question. Really big stars go out with a bang and become neutrons or black holes (the really giant ones). Less big ones take longer to die out and eventually become red dwarfs or white dwarfs.
Why is a white dwarf considered a dead star?
A white dwarf is not considered a "dead star." It is considered a dying star, but not dead yet. A white dwarf is at its smallest state and could become a supernova when its center runs out of fuel to burn.
When a star has no fuel left and its outer layers escape into space what is its remaining core called?
When the layers escape into space, this is classified as a planetary nebula. What usually is left behind is a white dwarf.
Do stars exist forever?
No, stars do not exist forever. They eventually run out of fuel and undergo various stages of evolution, ending in a supernova explosion or collapsing into a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.
Is a dwarf star one that has no fuel to make its own energy?
Yes, that is correct. A white dwarf has run out of fuel - it used it up.Yes, that is correct. A white dwarf has run out of fuel - it used it up.Yes, that is correct. A white dwarf has run out of fuel - it used it up.Yes, that is correct. A white dwarf has run out of fuel - it used it up.
Are white dwarfs a type of star?
Yes. A white dwarf is a compact star, the remnant of a star that has run our of fuel.
Is a white dwarf star is one that does not have fuel to make is own energy?
That's called a "black dwarf". Such objects are hypothetical; they are not expected to exist yet, since it takes a white dwarf longer, to cool down to a black dwarf, than the current age of the Universe.
Can a white dwarf that has no fuel make its own energy?
No. The energy of a white dwarf is simply residual heat.
A star that has colloasped after using a fuel?
White dwarf.
What is a star that collapse after using its fuel?
white dwarf
What gas is being used as a fuel source for the white dwarf?
The gas being used as a fuel source for white dwarfs is primarily hydrogen. During nuclear fusion reactions in the core of a white dwarf, hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium, releasing energy in the process.
Is white dwarf a dead star?
Yes - in the sense that it no longer produces energy. In other words, the star has run out of fuel for nuclear fusion.
What happens to low to medium mass stars when they run out of fuel?
What actually happens to the types of stars is that the low mass will turn into a white dwarf and the medium mass will turn into a black dwarf and reproduce a nebula
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.
Will Sirius b become a supernova?
No. It's a white dwarf, meaning that it has no more fuel left for such things.
Does a star that has no fuel but glows faintly is a black dwarf?
A star that has burned out and no longer has fuel to sustain nuclear fusion in its core is called a white dwarf, not a black dwarf. A white dwarf is the remnant core of a low to medium mass star after its outer layers have been ejected. Over time, a white dwarf will cool down and eventually become a black dwarf, but this process takes billions of years.
