As a planetary nebula, a star can shed some of its outer gases without losing them all and the cycle can be repeated many times. As a nova, the star will blow out its outermost layers and eventually leave the core, which becomes a white dwarf star. As a supernova, a large star blows off all of its gases, leaving behind a pulsar or a black hole.

How does a dying star shed its gases?

As a star runs out of fuel and starts to die, its outer layers expand and are pushed away by the strong radiation pressure from the core. This forms a glowing shell of gas called a planetary nebula. Eventually, the core collapses into a white dwarf, while the expelled gas dissipates into space.

What could happen to the dust and gases that are left behind after a supernova of a dying star?

They will be drawn into a larger cloud by gravitational attraction and eventually, this can form a stellar system.

How old is Ring star?

As of October 2023, the Ring nebula (M57) is estimated to be around 1,500 years old. It formed from the outer layers of a dying star that shed its material, creating the colorful gas cloud we see today. This makes it a relatively young nebula in astronomical terms.

When light from a star passes though the star's outer gases what happens to some of the light?

Some of the light gets absorbed by the gases, causing them to heat up and emit light themselves. This creates an absorption spectrum with dark lines at specific wavelengths corresponding to the elements present in the star's atmosphere.


When all the gases are gone what happens to a star?

What is left when a planetary nebula dissipates?

When a planetary nebula dissipates, what remains is the core of the star that has shed its outer layers. This core, known as a white dwarf, is extremely dense and hot, gradually cooling over billions of years. The planetary nebula itself, which is the glowing gas and dust expelled by the dying star, eventually disperses into space.
