Unless a star ts very old and very massive, it will not consume oxygen. Stars are powered by nuclear fusion, which fuses hydrogen into helium. When a star runs out of hydrogen at its core it expands into a red giant and starts fusing hydrogen in a shell around the core. If the star is not massive enough to fuse helium, then it will shed its outer layers and leave a helium while dwarf where the core was. If it is massive enough, it will fuse helium into heavier elements up to oxygen. Most stars to not make it past this stage. More massive stars, though fuse elements such as carbon and oxygen into neon, magnesium, and sulfur.
If at any stage the star can fuse no more, the it sheds its outer layers and leaves behind a white dwarf.
The exception is if the star makes it as far as fusing iron. If that happens the core will stop producing energy. The core will collapse into either a black hole or a neutron star and the rest of the star's mass will be blown away in a massive explosion called a supernova.

∙ 9y agoThat depends on the mass of the star. More massive stars will go on to fuse helium into heavier elements. They get hotter in the process. Less massive stars (red dwarves), on the other hand, won't achieve pressures and temperatures high enough to fuse helium into heavier elements. They will gradually cool down.

The energy source of stars is primarily associated with?
hydrogen fusion in the core. eventually runs out of hydrogen in the core and hydrogen fusion moves to the shell whilst the core contracts (star expands into red giant)...star leaves the main sequence.
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.
Does a rocket fall back if it runs out of oxygen?
No. A rocket does not need to fire its engines to stay in orbit. It does, however need fuel and oxygen to perform any maneuvers, so a rocket that runs out of oxygen will be stranded in space.
Why do stars expand as they age?
It is a bit complicated. If I understand correctly, once the star's core runs out of hydrogen, it starts to collapse, getting hot enough to fuse helium into heavier elements. This leaves the star much hotter, and it is this heat that makes the star expand - so while the core is more compact, the larger part of the star is blown up due to the heat.
Is the sun a burning star?
Yes it willburn until it runs out of fusion at its core .
What Happens When The body runs Out of Oxygen?
You die.
What happens when you bypass heater core?
you have no heat and car runs normal
What happens if oxygen supply runs out in cellular respiration?
Fermentation
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 happens when you burn fuel in virtually no oxygen?
With virtually no oxygen, you can burn fuel for virtually no time before the oxygen runs out.
When a low mass star first runs short of hydrogen in its core it becomes brighter because?
Low mass stars become brighter after depleting hydrogen because all of the hydrogen in the core has been fused into helium. Once this happens, hydrogen fusion begins in the outer layers, which causes more heat and light generation.
The energy source of stars is primarily associated with?
hydrogen fusion in the core. eventually runs out of hydrogen in the core and hydrogen fusion moves to the shell whilst the core contracts (star expands into red giant)...star leaves the main sequence.
What happens too solid snake when he runs out of psych?
he get's knocked out and stars appear in a circle around his head.
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.
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 happens to blood when warming up?
When you warm up your blood runs through your blood arteries and creates oxygen for your body :)
What happens if the sun runs out of oxygen?
It would be of little to no consequence. The "burning" of the sun is not really fire; it does not use oxygen. The sun is instead powered by nuclear fusion, which turns hydrogen into helium.
