When a Star runs out of fuel, it will expand into what is known as a "Red Giant". Massive stars will become "Red Supergiants". This phase will last until the star exhausts its remaining fuel. At this point, the pressure of the nuclear reaction is not strong enough to equalize the force of gravity and the star will collapse.

What is the fuel for stars?

The fuel for stars is primarily hydrogen, which undergoes nuclear fusion in their cores to form helium. This fusion process releases energy in the form of light and heat, which is what allows stars to shine and maintain their brightness over millions to billions of years.


What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?

Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.


When a star begins to fun out of fuel what two types of stars can it become?

When a star runs out of fuel, it can evolve into a red giant or a white dwarf, depending on its mass. Low to medium-mass stars (like our Sun) will expand and become red giants. High-mass stars will undergo a supernova explosion, leaving behind a dense core known as a white dwarf.


How is helium produced in stars?

Helium is primarily produced in stars through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium in the core of the star. This fusion reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat, powering the star. As the star continues to fuse hydrogen into helium, it eventually runs out of hydrogen fuel and may go on to fuse helium into heavier elements.


How are nebulas created?

Nebulas are created as a result of the remnants of dying stars expanding into space. When a star runs out of fuel and explodes in a supernova or sheds its outer layers in a planetary nebula, the gas and dust are scattered into space. These remnants can form new stars, planets, and other celestial structures.

How do binary stars differ form the supernovas and novas?

binary stars are two stars that orbit each other while supernovas and novas stars are stars that explode when it runs out of fuel

Where do neutron stars form?

Neutron stars could form in places where there are high-mass stars. After the star runs out of fuel in its core, the core collapses while the shell explodes into the space as supernova. The core would then become a neutron star, it might also become a black hole if it is massive enough.

What is the fuel the runs fusion in stars?

Initially it is hydrogen. When that is spent, stars move to fusion of helium. There are also other fusion processes which take place: which process depends on the stars' mass.

The death of a star occurs when?

When the star runs out of fuel. Most stars burn (fuse, actually) hydrogen. When this runs out, what happens next depends on the mass of the star... heavier stars can fuse heavier elements for a short time, but lower mass stars simply collapse into white dwarfs.

How does the sun become a black hole?

It cannot. The sun does not have enough mass to form a black hole. When it runs out of fuel an dies it will form a dense remnant called a white dwarf. Only stars 25 times the mass of the sun or more have strong enough gravity for their cores to collapse all the way to a black hole.


When a main sequence star runs out of hydrogen to fuel the core of which type of star begins to form?

red giant


What causes neutrons stars to form?

when a supernova occurs and the star is destroyed but if some how the nucleus survives and its mass is 1.4 solar masses then the nucleus started to shrink under its own gravity then the next stable state is neutron star.
