What else can I help you with?
What are Endpoints of stellar evolution?
The endpoints of stellar evolution are: White Dwarf Neutron Star Black Hole The endpoint is dependent upon birth mass of the star.
What is a good science fair title dealing with star life cycle?
Life Cycle of a Star
What kind of star is hot and has a very small radius?
A white dwarf star fits this description. White dwarfs are hot due to residual heat from their earlier stellar evolution, but they have a small radius comparable to that of a planet like Earth.
What current stage of stellar evolution is Arctics?
I know of no star by that name.
Can a planet become a star through a process of stellar evolution?
Yes, a planet cannot become a star through stellar evolution. Stars are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust, while planets are formed from the leftover material in a star's protoplanetary disk.
How does gravity effect stellar evolution?
Gravity effects stellar evolution by pulling down force on the stars while they are forming. Mass will determine how long the star stays alive and burning.
What describes the life of a star?
Stellar evolution is the collection of hypotheses that describes how stars develop as they age.
What is a stellar spectra?
Stellar spectra are graphs or visual representations of the intensity of light emitted by a star at different wavelengths. They provide information about the star's temperature, chemical composition, and motion towards or away from Earth. Studying stellar spectra is crucial for understanding the properties and evolution of stars.
What is the stellar path?
The stellar path, often referred to in the context of stellar evolution, describes the sequence of stages a star undergoes throughout its lifetime, from its formation in a molecular cloud to its eventual death. This path varies based on a star's mass, influencing its lifespan, the types of nuclear fusion it undergoes, and its ultimate fate, such as becoming a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. The path can also be visualized on a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which plots stars according to their luminosity and temperature.
What major forces and or pressures drive stellar evolution?
The fact that each star starts out with all the hydrogen that its ever going to have.
Which stage of stellar evolution does combined hydrogen fusion and helium fusion cause a star's outer shell to expand?
Main Sequence - star is stable because of Hydrostatic Equilibrium. Fusing Hydrogen to Helium in core. Stars spends about 90% lifetime as main sequence.This is were I found the answer - http://www.maa.mhn.de/Scholar/star_evol.html
How can star clusters confirm astronomers' theories of stellar evolution?
Star clusters are collections of same-age stars that remain intact for billions of years. When plotted on a H-R diagram, a cutoff point of stars leaving the main sequence and massive stars further evolved are shown, confirming the theory of stellar evolution.
