What is a star at the end of its life cycle that eventually becomes a black dwarf?

It's really hard to tell for an individual star whether it will become a black hole. That depends on the mass of the star that remains after it runs out of fuel. Please note that in a supernova explosion, a large portion of a star's mass can be blown off into space. However, in general it is the most massive stars that are most likely to become black holes. Moreover, a supergiant star is not only very massive, but it is also likely to run out of fuel in the near future - meaning, in the next few million years - and therefore collapse (perhaps into a black hole, perhaps into a neutron star).

Can a mid sized star become a or a black dwarf?
Eventually, yes. A mid-size star becomes a white dwarf, which eventually cools to become a black dwarf.
What does a red dwarf turn into after being a red dwarf?
A white dwarf. Basically, a red dwarf just gets cooler and cooler until it has consumed all of its hydrogen. Then it becomes a white dwarf star. It will then dissipate any remaining heat into space and eventually become a "black dwarf".
A small dense star that forms at the end of a medium stars life cycle is?
Once a medium sized star has consumed all it's fuel it becomes a White Dwarf star (just the extremely dense core of the original star remains composed mainly of carbon). A White Dwarf star will, however, eventually lose it's heat to become a Black Dwarf.
Does fusion occur in a black dwarf?
No. Fusion has long since ceased by the time a stellar remnant becomes a black dwarf.
What causes a white dwarf supernova?
A white dwarf supernova can only happen in binary pairs where the white dwarf rips matter from the larger star and eventually becomes unstable and it collapses in on itself.
Can a mid sized star become a or a black dwarf?
Eventually, yes. A mid-size star becomes a white dwarf, which eventually cools to become a black dwarf.
Will the sun be a white dwarf for the rest of eternity?
No. After the sun becomes a white dwarf it will eventually cool to become a black dwarf.
What does a white dwarf eventually become?
A black dwarf.
Will a black hole form in our solar system?
No, the sun is too small to become a black hole, it will eventually become a brown dwarf, ending it's life cycle.
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.
What does a red dwarf turn into after being a red dwarf?
A white dwarf. Basically, a red dwarf just gets cooler and cooler until it has consumed all of its hydrogen. Then it becomes a white dwarf star. It will then dissipate any remaining heat into space and eventually become a "black dwarf".

Does fusion occur in a black dwarf?
No. Fusion has long since ceased by the time a stellar remnant becomes a black dwarf.
What is the final stage in the suns cycle life?
White Dwarf then Black Dwarf=Dead Star
Are white dwarf stars always white?
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
When does a white dwarf die?
When it has radiated all of it's heat back into space. It then becomes a black dwarf.
What are the stages of the sun's life cycle?
protostar, main sequence, giant, nebula, white dwarf & black dwarf.
