After the Red Dwarf phase, the life of the star ends. It begins to shed its outer layers into a cloud, called a planetary nebula, until only about 20% of the star's mass remains. The star will then continue to cool and shrink until it becomes a White Dwarf.

What do medium stars in the red giant phase become?

A star that is in it's teenage years(medium star) isn't a red giant until it's last years.


When a red giant loses its outer layer and the core shrinks to one millionth of its original size what type of star is formed?

When a red giant loses its outer layer and the core shrinks, it can form a white dwarf. White dwarfs are dense, Earth-sized remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel.


Why do some stars become white dwarfs and others become neutron stars and black holes?

Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star


What are the five medium stars?

The five medium stars are the Sun, Alpha Centauri A, Sirius A, Vega, and Capella. These stars have masses and luminosities greater than average stars like our Sun, but are not as massive or luminous as giant stars.


What are the five main groups of stars?

The five main groups of stars are main sequence stars, giant stars, supergiant stars, white dwarf stars, and neutron stars. These groups are classified based on their size, temperature, and stage in their life cycle.


Why are giant and super giant stars rare?

Giant and supergiant stars are rare because they represent later stages in the life cycle of a star, which are shorter in duration compared to the main sequence phase. Additionally, the formation of giant and supergiant stars requires a massive initial stellar mass, which is less common in the universe.


What is made when stars die?

There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.


Do medium size stars become black holes true or false?

False. Only the most massive stars will become black holes.


Describe the life cycle of a very massive star from the red giant phase onward?

Stars that are massive enough are unlikely become red giants; instead they will destroy themselves as type II supernovas.


Why will low massed stars never become giant stars?

i think it depends on how the stars collect the energies they need...i hope it help


Medium size stars become black holes true or false?

False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.


Do medium size stars become black holes?

No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.
