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.
Right now the sun is a main sequence star. When it uses up the hydrogen in its core it will become a red giant then shed its outer layers to become a white dwarf.
A small dead star is typically a white dwarf, which is the leftover core of a star that was not massive enough to become a supernova. White dwarfs are very dense, about the size of Earth but with the mass of a star.
the answer is white dwarf
No. A brown dwarf is a failed star, one that is not massive enough to start nuclear fusion. The sun is well above the threshold of fusion. When it dies it will become a white dwarf.
An older star that has become small is called a white dwarf. White dwarfs are the remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and collapsed to a very dense state. They are very hot and small compared to their original size as a main sequence star.
A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
It may become a White Dwarf.
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
No, Pluto is a dwarf planet in our solar system, not a white dwarf star. White dwarfs are remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and collapsed. Pluto is too small to undergo nuclear fusion and become a star.
It will first become a red giant, then turn into a white dwarf and in billions and billions of years it will become a black dwarf.
Yes, a mid-sized star can eventually become a white dwarf or a black dwarf. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, the star sheds its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf. Over trillions of years, a white dwarf may cool and fade into a black dwarf, although this process would take longer than the current age of the universe.
No, the star usually will become a white dwarf or explode .
It should become a white dwarf star.
a white dwarf
No. A dwarf star is a small star. A white dwarf is just one particular type of dwarf star, but there are other types.
No. it is not massive enough. When the sun dies it will become a white dwarf.
