It is because it collapses after it has run out of "fuel".

What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?

the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf


What stars turn into white dwarfs?

Sometimes if the conditions are just right a huge diamond! (the final stage of nucleosynthesis of stars that are not more massive is carbon Theoretically, they get dimmer and dimmer until they become "black dwarfs".


Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?

Yes, a star of low to medium mass, like the sun, will eventually turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle. This occurs after the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and shed its outer layers.


Does a nebula turn into a white dwarf?

A nebula does not directly turn into a white dwarf. A nebula will collapse to form stars. Low to medium mass stars become white dwarfs after they die. Some are the result of a supernova and do not collapse, they merely dissipate over time. The Crab Nebula is the most prominent example of this.


What do White dwarf stars turn into?

Sometimes if the conditions are just right a huge diamond! (the final stage of nucleosynthesis of stars that are not more massive is carbon Theoretically, they get dimmer and dimmer until they become "black dwarfs".


What are Three things stars turn into when they die?

white dwarf ---> black dwarf. Only difference is amount of heat.Neutron star (also knows as Pulsar)black holesub-stellar wreckage. Veil Nebula, Planetary nebula,1. Dwarf stars2. Supernovas (Neutron Stars)3. Black holesIt depends on the size and mass


Why do some stars become white dwarfs and others become neutron stars and black holes?

Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star


Is there such thing as a red star?

Yes. The lowest mass stars are red dwarfs while many older stars turn into red giants and red supergiants.


How do constellations die?

Constellations do not actually "die" as they are simply patterns of stars that appear from our perspective on Earth. Over time, the positions of stars within constellations may change due to the stars' own movement through space, but the overall shape or pattern of a constellation remains a part of our cultural and astronomical history.


Why do some stars die out as neutron stars while others die out as black holes and white dwarfs?

It won't turn direclty into a black dwarf. Some stars will turn into a white dwarf; when the white dwarf cools down (it no longer produces energy), it will become a black dwarf. It is not likely that there are black dwarves yet, since the Universe isn't old enough; this is an expected future stage in the development of some stars. and be cause yolo


Do all-stars turn into a red giant?

Most stars will. A red dwarf is believed to be fully convective and may be able to use up all of it's hydrogen without ever becoming a red giant. However, because of their extended lifespans - no red dwarfs have been observed at the end of their life.


What is a small hot star that is near the end of its life called?

There are small hot stars - White dwarfs, neutron stars but by furtue that they are hot, means they are not near the end of their lives. It takes a long long time for all the residual heat to escape into the Universe. So, there are NO hot stars near the end of it's life.
