When a red supergiant runs out of fuel at its core, it can no longer sustain nuclear fusion, leading to the core's collapse under gravity. This collapse results in the formation of a neutron star or, if the mass is sufficient, a black hole. The outer layers of the star are expelled in a supernova explosion, enriching the surrounding space with heavy elements.
What else can I help you with?
The star begins to run out of fuel and expands Into a red giant or red super giant?
No. That is when stars run out of hydrogen. They then have helium for fuel.
Why does a red super giant have the hottest core?
A red supergiant has the hottest core because it has exhausted its nuclear fuel in the core, causing the core to contract and heat up due to gravitational compression. This increased temperature is what leads the outer layers of the star to expand and cool, giving the star its red color.
As heavier elements are formed by fusion a massive star expands into?
As heavier elements are formed by fusion in the core, a massive star will eventually exhaust its nuclear fuel and trigger a supernova explosion. This explosion will generate immense energy, leading to the production and dispersal of even more heavy elements into space.
When a red giant loses its outer layer and the core shrinks to one millionth of its original size what type of star is formed?
When a red giant loses its outer layer and the core shrinks, it can form a white dwarf. White dwarfs are dense, Earth-sized remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
When a main-sequence star has exhausted the fuel in its core it becomes a....?
I am pretty sure it becomes a giant if I'm not mistaken.
How is the red-giant formed?
A red giant forms when a star runs out of hydrogen fuel at its core and starts fusing hydrogen in a shell around the core the core. This causes the star to expand and cool.
The star begins to run out of fuel and expands Into a red giant or red super giant?
No. That is when stars run out of hydrogen. They then have helium for fuel.
What is an expanding star after exhausting its hydrogen fuel called?
An expanding star after exhausting its hydrogen fuel is called a red giant. This stage occurs when the core contracts and heats up, causing the outer layers of the star to expand and cool, giving it a red color.
Why does a red super giant have the hottest core?
A red supergiant has the hottest core because it has exhausted its nuclear fuel in the core, causing the core to contract and heat up due to gravitational compression. This increased temperature is what leads the outer layers of the star to expand and cool, giving the star its red color.

What is formed when a red supergiant runs out of fuel at its core?
black hole
What part of the nuclear reactor is the fuel located in?
The nuclear fuel is found in the fuel rods. These fuel rods are formed into fuel bundles called fuel assemblies, and together they make up the reactor core.

When a red giant loses its outer layer and the core shrinks to one millionth of its original size what type of star is formed?
When a red giant loses its outer layer and the core shrinks, it can form a white dwarf. White dwarfs are dense, Earth-sized remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
When a main sequence has exhausted the fuel in its core it becomes?
The next step in its life is to become a "red giant" star.
When a main sequence star has the fuel in its core it becomes?
The next step in its life is to become a "red giant" star.
When a main sequence star runs out of hydrogen to fuel the core of which type of star begins to form?
red giant
