In about 5 billion years, before the Sun becomes a white dwarf, the Sun will enter a red giant phase, its outer layers expanding as the hydrogen fuel in the core is consumed and the core contracts and heats up. Helium fusion will begin when the core temperature reaches around 100 million kelvins and will produce carbon. Earth's fate is precarious. As a red giant, the Sun will have a maximum radius beyond the Earth's current orbit. However, by the time it is an asymptotic giant branch star, the Sun will have lost roughly 30% of its present mass due to a stellar wind, so the orbits of the planets will move outward. But, Earth will be swallowed by the Sun owing to tidal interactions. Even if Earth would escape incineration in the Sun, still all its water will be boiled away and most of its atmosphere would escape into space. In fact, even during its current life in the main sequence, the Sun is gradually becoming more luminous (about 10% every 1 billion years), and its surface temperature is slowly rising. The increase in solar temperatures is such that already in about a billion years, the surface of the Earth will become too hot for liquid water to exist.
What else can I help you with?
When the sun becomes a white dwarf will life on Earth end?
When the Sun is out of hydrogen- the Sun swells and becomes a red giant , "pulling" Mercury, Venus and Mars into it and Earth´s ice and water will be vaporized, the temperature on Earth will rise significantly - and this happens within 2,5 - 5 10 E9 years - 2,5 to 5 billion years or when sun has no hydrogen left to burn and starts burning helium instead. When the sun runs out of helium it becomes a white dwarf, a big diamond about the size of earth and will no longer generate energy from its core... earth will be dead long before the sun becomes a white dwarf,
What happens to the core of a star after a planetary nebula occurs?
After a planetary nebula occurs, the core of the star collapses and becomes a white dwarf. This white dwarf slowly cools down over billions of years until it eventually becomes a cold, dark remnant known as a black dwarf.
After what evolutionary stage does a star become a white dwarf?
A star becomes a white dwarf after it exhausts its fuel and undergoes fusion reactions that lead to its outer layers being expelled as a planetary nebula. The remaining core collapses and becomes a dense, Earth-sized white dwarf composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter.
What will happen to your sun after it becomes a red giant?
After becoming a red giant, our sun will eventually shed its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula while the core collapses to form a white dwarf. The white dwarf will continue to cool and dim over billions of years until it becomes a cold, dark remnant known as a black dwarf.
Why does a star become a white dwarf?
A star becomes a white dwarf when it exhausts its nuclear fuel and can no longer produce energy through fusion reactions. Gravity causes the core to collapse while the outer layers are expelled into space, leaving behind a dense, Earth-sized remnant known as a white dwarf.
What causes the White Dwarf in space?
The White Dwarf in space is also called a degenerate dwarf which is a stellar remnant composed mostly of electron degenerate matter. This can happen in binary pairs where the white dwarf rips matter from the larger star and eventually becomes unstable and it collapses in on itself.

What causes a white dwarf supernova?
A white dwarf supernova occurs when a white dwarf star in a binary system accretes material from a companion star, causing it to exceed the Chandrasekhar limit (1.4 solar masses). The core then undergoes a runaway nuclear fusion reaction, leading to a catastrophic explosion that destroys the white dwarf.
What will the sun became before it becomes a white dwarf?

Is a white dwarf star about the size of a city?
No, a typical white dwarf star is roughly the size of the Earth.
How long will it take for a brown dwarf to become a black dwarf?
A brown dwarf will never become a black dwarf. A black dwarf is what becomes of a white dwarf. This process takes hundreds of trillions of years.
When a red giant completes helium fusion and collapses it becomes a .?
White dwarf.
How does a stars died?
It gets bigger and blows up and then it becomes a white dwarf
