An average star wiill eventually becomes a?
An average star like our sun will eventually become a red giant as it exhausts its nuclear fuel. After that, it will shed its outer layers to form a planetary nebula and leave behind a dense core called a white dwarf.
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.
Why does a star become a white dwarf?
A star becomes a white dwarf when it exhausts its nuclear fuel and can no longer produce energy through fusion reactions. Gravity causes the core to collapse while the outer layers are expelled into space, leaving behind a dense, Earth-sized remnant known as a white dwarf.
Will our sun end up like a neutron star?
No, our sun is not massive enough to become a neutron star. When our sun runs out of fuel, it will shed its outer layers and become a planetary nebula, leaving behind a dense core called a white dwarf.
The sun will eventually end up as a?
white dwarf star
When a nova destroys a star does it leave behind a white dwarf?
A nova is a cataclysmic nuclear explosion caused by the accretion of hydrogen onto the surface of a white dwarf star. Nova are not to be confused with Type Ia supernovae which do explode [See Link]
Can the sun leave a black hole when it dies?
No. It is not nearly massive enough. When the sun dies it will leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf.
Will the sun become a supernova or black hole?
No. When the sun dies it will expel its outer layers in a series of gradual pulses and leave behind a white dwarf.
What remains after a low-mass or medium-mass star dies?
After a low-mass or medium-mass star dies, it will typically leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf. A white dwarf is a dense, Earth-sized core made primarily of carbon and oxygen. It gradually cools and fades over billions of years.
Is a dead star the some as a black dwarf?
No, a dead star is different from a black dwarf. A black dwarf is a type of stellar remnant, but not all stars become black dwarfs. When a star dies it will leave behind a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black dwarf as a remnant depending on its mass. Given enough time a white dwarf will eventually cool to a black dwarf. The universe is not old enough for this cooling to have happened yet.
What causes a white dwarf supernova?
A white dwarf supernova occurs when a white dwarf star in a binary system accretes material from a companion star, causing it to exceed the Chandrasekhar limit (1.4 solar masses). The core then undergoes a runaway nuclear fusion reaction, leading to a catastrophic explosion that destroys the white dwarf.
An average star wiill eventually becomes a?
An average star like our sun will eventually become a red giant as it exhausts its nuclear fuel. After that, it will shed its outer layers to form a planetary nebula and leave behind a dense core called a white dwarf.
Is a white dwarf capable of fusing elements?
Not normally. A white dwarf is the remnant of a star in which fusion has stopped. If, however, a white dwarf has a close binary companion star it can accrete gas from that companion. If enough gas collects on the white dwarf it can ignite a complex reaction change between the hydrogen gas and the carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen of the surface. Unlike the steady fusion in a main sequence star, the fusion on a white dwarf is a runaway reaction that results in a massive explosion called a nova, which drives away the accreted gas and ends fusion. If the white dwarf is massive enough the accretion of gas can trigger carbon fusion inside the white dwarf, resulting in an even larger explosion called a type Ia supernova, which destroys the white dwarf.
What is the name of the white trails that jets leave behind?
The white trails left behind jets are known as contrails.
Will a yellow star eventually become a white dwarf?
Generally yes, however in some rare cases such as yellow supergiants, they will explode as a supernova and leave behind, either a black hole or a neutron star.
What is the term for the very dense white dwarf star that is left behind after a supernova?
Neutron Star
Why does tap water leave white residue behind?
Tap water can leave white residue behind because it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium. When the water evaporates, these minerals are left behind, forming the white residue known as limescale.
