Once a star's nuclear fusion has ended, it will collapse inside its core and become what is known as a white dwarf. Its outer layers will shoot out into the universe as planet nebula. If they are very large, stars will explode into a Supernova and their core will collapse into a black hole.

What happens to a star when the outward force of fusion is less than the inward force?

the star collapses in on itself, and usually when the fusion stops it is in the last stages of its life as a giant or supergiant and forms a white dwarf made of the carbon left over from the second stage of helium to carbon fusion from the core of the star that takes place after the hydrogen to helium fusion. after the white dwarf is formed it will eventually cool off into a black dwarf which is basically a carbon corpse of a star


What is the fate of an isolated brown dwarf?

The fate of an isolated brown dwarf depends on its mass. If the brown dwarf is below a certain threshold (about 13 times the mass of Jupiter), it will cool and fade over time, eventually becoming a cold, dark object called a "rogue planet." If the brown dwarf is more massive, it may undergo fusion reactions and become a star, though this is rare for isolated brown dwarfs.


Why must the suns rate of fusion gradually rise over billions of years?

Fusion reactions decrease the overall number of particles in the core, causing the core to shrink, converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy, and increasing the rate of fusion.


How powerful is the sun's heat?

The sun's heat is incredibly powerful, with temperatures reaching over 27 million degrees Fahrenheit at its core. This intense heat is generated through nuclear fusion reactions that release massive amounts of energy, which ultimately provides heat and light to the Earth.


Reaction dead star?

A dead star, also known as a white dwarf, is the remnant core of a star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel. It no longer undergoes fusion reactions and gradually cools over billions of years. Sometimes, if it is part of a binary system with a companion star, it can reignite and explode in a supernova.

What is the difference between red and brown dwarf stars?

Red dwarf stars are massive enough to undergo nuclear fusion, so they would burn a long time before they run out of fuel. Brown dwarves are not massive enough for nuclear fusion, so almost all of its light come from the time when the brown dwarf was formed. Over a long period of time, a brown dwarf would cool down into a gas giant similar to Jupiter.
