Four-star fuel was a type of leaded petrol introduced in the UK in the 1920s. It had high levels of octane which helped prevent engine knocking in high-performance cars. However, it is no longer available due to environmental concerns about lead pollution.

What does it mean when a star goes off the main sequence?

When a star "goes off the main-sequence" it generally means the star has run out of hydrogen fuel and is beginning the post-main-sequence or its end of life phase. The main sequence of a star is the time where it is no longer just a proto-star but is burning hydrogen as a primary source of fuel.


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.


What are two types of stars that can form when a star runs out of fuel?

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. Go to related link to read more about Stars... ;)


What makes a star lose its shine?

A star can lose its shine as it runs out of fuel and expands into a red giant, or collapses into a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. This process is part of the star's natural life cycle and can result in changes in its brightness and appearance.


What does it mean when a star reaches the stage where its light becomes white?

When a star's light appears white, it means the star has reached its mature phase known as the white dwarf stage. This occurs when the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and has collapsed to a smaller, denser state. White dwarfs emit a combination of different light wavelengths that appear white to our eyes.

How does a star fuel?

A typical star starts out with a lot of hydrogen-1. This is the star's fuel, which is gradually converted into helium-4, and in some cases, into heavier elements.


What is a star's main fuel doing its lifetime?

For most of a star's life, the main fuel is protium (hydrogen-1), which is fused into helium-4.

When a neutron star runs out of fuel what does it become?

A neutron star is already the remains of a massive star that has run out of fuel.

What is the difference in 4 star and 3 star petrol?

The star rating is no longer used to classify petrol. The star rating was an indication of the percentage of lead present in the fuel. Commercial fuels no longer contain lead.

What does a star turn into after it runs out of fuel?

What Fuel does a Star burn to create its own energy?

A star will use fusion to combine lighter atoms into heavier atoms. A main-sequence star (that's the majority of stars) will convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4, so in this case, hydrogen-1 is the fuel. Once it starts running out of hydrogen-1, it will start fusing the helium into heavier elements - in which case the main fuel will be the helium-4. Later in the life cycle of a star, the fuel can be even heavier elements.


How do you make a four pointed star?

if you mean 4 pointed star like a ninja star, there's a pretty good video showing you how here: http://foldsomething.com/origami-videos/4-point-star-ninja-throwing-star-shuriken/
