Just as a low-mass main sequence star runs out of fuel in its core it actually becomes brighter How is this possible?

The core contracts, raising the temperature and increasing the size of the region of hydrogen shell-burning.

When a main sequence has exhausted the fuel in its core it becomes?
The next step in its life is to become a "red giant" star.
When a main-sequence star has exhausted the fuel in its core it becomes a....?
I am pretty sure it becomes a giant if I'm not mistaken.
Does the northern star get brighter when traveling north?
No. It just becomes higher in the sky. If you were to stand at the North Pole,the 'North Star' (Polaris) would appear almost directly overhead.
What do stars start to become when it runs out of fuel?
in some cases it becomes a red giant then later progresses into a wight dwarf . according to the main sequence . in other cases it becomes a red supergiant then a supernova takes place leading the dying star to become either a neutron star or a black hole according to the main sequence
What is the main source of energy of a star as it grows in size to becomes a red giant?
A main sequence star burns hydrogen to helium. Once a main sequence star exhausts all of the hydrogen, it begins to expand and burn helium causing if to become a red giant.
Convert the following DNA sequence into its RNA equivalent and then using the genetic code convert that RNA sequence into the amino acid sequence 5tacttcttcaagact-3?
DNA Sequence = 5tacttcttcaagact-3 RNA Sequence = 3'-AUGAAGAAGUUCUGA-5'You just switch 5' and 3'T becomes AA becomes UC becomes GG becomes CThere should be no Ts in an RNA sequence.
When does a comet became brighter?
A comet becomes brighter as it approaches the sun. It's at that time that the heat from the sun begins to boil the ice present in the comet, and its tail becomes visible as it moves, leaving a trail behind it that scatters light, making it appear brighter.
What is the step after main sequence in a stars life?
After the main sequence, a star becomes a red giant.
What order does a nebula occur and becomes a main sequence star and then a giant?
main sequence,giant then nebula
What happens to the filament if the bulbs becomes brighter and brighter?
The bulb gets brighter because the filament is getting hotter. If the filament's temperature gets too high it will melt at some point and fall apart. The current will stop flowing and the bulb will "blow".
Why do we have red blood?
Because our blood is iron based. The more oxygen enriched it is, the brighter red it becomes.
When a star is fully formed it becomes which type of star?
A Main Sequence star.
Does a red main sequence star have fusion?
A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.
How does plucking the string with fingers help to make a sound louder?
The sound becomes brighter when strings are plucked and only seems to be louder.
If you add an extra battery to a circuit containing a bulb how will this affect the bulb?
The bulb becomes brighter unless it is too much till it shot-circuits.
Are red giants main sequence stars?
yes before it dies it becomes a red giant
When a protostar of about one solar mass contracts and becomes hotter what position will it shift into?
Main sequence.
