Either a giant or a super giant. Giants will eventually collapse on its core and have a little white dwarf left behind, but they will have the same mass and gravity as the old star. Supergiants will collapse but in an explosion, supernova, and they will either become a nuetron star or a black hole.

What do stars start to become when it runs out of fuel?

in some cases it becomes a red giant then later progresses into a wight dwarf . according to the main sequence . in other cases it becomes a red supergiant then a supernova takes place leading the dying star to become either a neutron star or a black hole according to the main sequence


How would you arrange this in order red giant white dwarf and main sequence?

The correct order of these stellar evolutionary stages is main sequence, red giant, white dwarf. A star begins its life on the main sequence where it fuses hydrogen into helium. As it runs out of fuel, it expands into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and collapsing into a white dwarf.


What makes a fusion stop in the main sequence stage?

A fusion reactor stops in the main sequence stage when it runs out of hydrogen fuel at its core. As hydrogen is depleted, the fusion rate decreases, resulting in a decrease in energy production. At this point, the star will begin to expand and evolve into a different stage of its lifecycle.


What is a stars life cycle?

Nebulae (gas and dust) protostar (formed by immense pressure in nebulae) ^ becomes either a Brown dwarf (basicall dead :P) or a Main sequence star which becomes: A Red giant (when MSS runs out f hydrogen ) if red giant is small it becomes a white dwarf and does nothing or a planetary nebulae if it's a big one it either becomes a Neutron star or a Black hole


A star evolves off the main sequence when?

A star evolves off the main sequence when it runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core. This causes the core to contract and heat up, leading to the expansion of the star's outer layers. This marks the beginning of the star's evolution into a red giant or supergiant, depending on its mass.

When does the main sequence star phase of a star end?

The "main sequence" is the region (on the HR diagram) for stars which burn hydrogen-1. Once stars use up most of their hydrogen-1 (and have significant amounts of helium-4), they leave the main sequence.


What characterizes a star leaving the Main-Sequence?

A star leaving the Main Sequence indicates that it has exhausted the hydrogen fuel in its core. As a result, the core contracts and heats up, causing the outer layers to expand and cool, leading to the star becoming a red giant. This phase marks the transition to the later stages of stellar evolution.


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

red giant


What stars have left the main sequence?

The main sequence stars are stars that fuse hydrogen, so the stars that have left the main sequence are the ones that have basically run out of hydrogen. They are the Red Giant stars, Supergiant stars and White Dwarf stars.

What is the process they generates energy into the core of the main sequence star?

Hydrogen fusion to make helium. When a star runs out of hydrogen in its core to fuse, it begins collapsing, leaves the main sequence, then ignites helium fusion to make carbon, becoming a red giant.


What is the main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram?

The main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram represents the stage in a star's life when it is undergoing nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core. Stars spend the majority of their lifetime on the main sequence, where they maintain a stable balance between inward gravitational pressure and outward radiation pressure. The main sequence runs diagonally from high temperature, high luminosity stars (top left) to lower temperature, lower luminosity stars (bottom right).
