What Creates a planetary nebula?

A planetary nebula is created when a low- to medium-mass star reaches the end of its life cycle and sheds its outer layers of gas into space. This process exposes the hot core of the star, which emits ultraviolet radiation that causes the surrounding gas to glow and form a colorful nebula.


What does each star explode into?

The life of a high mass star goes like this: A nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a high-mass protostar the protostar ages into high-mass, very hot star that hot star explodes into a supergiant, which proceeds to explode into a supernova the supernova then shrinks into a neutron star or a black hole the life of a low- or medium-mass star goes like this: a nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a low-mass protostar the protostar ages into a low- or medium- mass,cool star the star explodes into a red giant, the red giant explodes into a planetary nebula the nebula shrinks into a white dwarf, which then dims into a black dwarf i hope i was able to answer your question.


What do stars that have ejected a planetary nebula eventually become?

Stars that have ejected a planetary nebula eventually become white dwarfs. These are core remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel. White dwarfs gradually cool down over billions of years to become black dwarfs.


Will the sun eventually become a planetary nebula?

No, the sun will not become a planetary nebula. It is not massive enough to undergo the process that leads to the formation of a planetary nebula. Instead, the sun will eventually evolve into a red giant and then shed its outer layers to form a planetary nebula.


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)

What the star life cycle the is accurate?

Star of one stellar mass, red giant, white dwarf, planetary nebula


When a low-mass star nears the end of its life it ejects shells of gas into space forming?

When a low-mass star nears the end of its life, it forms a planetary nebula by ejecting shells of gas into space. This is a result of the star shedding its outer layers as it transitions into a white dwarf. The ejected gas expands and glows, creating the beautiful nebula structures we observe in space.


Is planet nebula real?

The correct term is planetary nebula. Such nebulae form when a low to medium mass star dies.

Star of one stellar mass, red giant, white dwarf, planetary nebula


Does the helix nebula have gravity?

All bodies that have mass, have gravity. The Helix Nebula is a large planetary nebula and will have "loads" of gravity.


Does a low mass star end its life as a white dwarf?

Yes, a low mass star will end its life cycle as a white dwarf. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, the star will shed its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind the dense core known as a white dwarf.
