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 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.


What is a low mass star (main sequence)?

A star with a low mass will go through these stages: 1. Protostar nebula 2. Main sequence (as a red dwarf) 3. Red giant 4. Planetary nebula 5. White dwarf (6. Black dwarf is theorized to occur after white dwarf)


The central star of the Ring Nebula?

The central star of the Ring Nebula is a white dwarf known as HD 229236. It is the remnant core of a low to intermediate mass star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and shed its outer layers. The white dwarf is hot and compact, surrounded by the colorful nebula that was once its outer layers.


What is the central star of the Ring Nebula?

The central star of the Ring Nebula, also known as Messier 57, is a white dwarf. A white dwarf is a dense, compact stellar remnant that is left behind after a star like our Sun exhausts its nuclear fuel and sheds its outer layers.


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.

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

Does the death of a star make a nebula?

No, the star usually will become a white dwarf or explode .


How a star becames a white dwarf?

A white dwarf is the core of a dead star. As the star runs out of fuel, it expands into a red giant, as the shell of the red giant became a planetary nebula, and the core shrinks and became a white 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".


What happens in the middle of a nebula?

in the middle of a nebula lies a glowing neutron star or a white dwarf with highly concentrated mass at extremely high densities.

Where does most of a red giant go when the star becomes a white dwarf?

The white dwarf still has a lot of mass ( about 80% of the original star), but it only has a small size( less than two Earths). A huge volume of material forms a nebula which gradually disperses. This type of nebula is (confusingly) called a "planetary nebula".
