Certainly, a planetary core can be cold. The heat of our own planetary core is the result of radioactive decay of various elements in the core and mantle, but eventually that heat source will be used up, and the residual heat will gradually leak away into space. There could be other planets which never had much or any abundance radioactive content in the first place.

Is the inner core more cold er than the outer core?

no


What planetary surface can best be described as a dry cold desert?

The planetary surface that best fits this description is Mars. Mars has a dry and cold climate, with temperatures averaging around -80 degrees Fahrenheit. Its surface features include vast deserts and canyons, making it a cold desert planet.


WHAT THE 4 STAGES OF AVERAGE STARS?

Average stars, like our Sun, undergo four main stages in their lifecycle: Main Sequence: This is the longest phase where the star fuses hydrogen into helium in its core, producing energy and stabilizing its structure. Red Giant: Once the hydrogen in the core is exhausted, the star expands and cools, becoming a red giant as it begins fusing helium into heavier elements. Planetary Nebula: Eventually, the outer layers are ejected, forming a colorful shell of gas known as a planetary nebula, while the core remains. White Dwarf: The remaining core, now a white dwarf, gradually cools and fades over billions of years, eventually becoming a cold, dark remnant.


What is the temperature of Pluto's core?

What causes an aging giant star to produce a planetary nebula?

As a giant star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it undergoes significant changes in its core and outer layers. The core contracts and heats up, while the outer layers expand and become unstable. Eventually, these outer layers are ejected into space due to strong stellar winds, forming a planetary nebula. The exposed hot core, now a white dwarf, emits ultraviolet radiation that ionizes the ejected material, causing the nebula to glow.

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.


What does the core of a star do when it blows its surface into space to form a planetary nebula?

When the core of a star blows its surface into space to form a planetary nebula, it sheds its outer layers of gas, exposing the hot, dense core of the star called a white dwarf. The white dwarf emits ultraviolet radiation that ionizes the ejected gas, causing it to glow and form the planetary nebula.


What is a star called that a star left at the core of a planetary nebula?

The remnant star left at the core of a planetary nebula is called a white dwarf. After a star like the Sun exhausts its nuclear fuel, it expels its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula, while the hot core remains as a white dwarf. This stellar remnant is primarily composed of carbon and oxygen and gradually cools and dims over time.


Is the crust and upper core brittle and cold?

The crust is brittle and cold but the outer core is fluid in state.


What is left when a planetary nebula dissipates?

When a planetary nebula dissipates, what remains is the core of the star that has shed its outer layers. This core, known as a white dwarf, is extremely dense and hot, gradually cooling over billions of years. The planetary nebula itself, which is the glowing gas and dust expelled by the dying star, eventually disperses into space.

What is the composition of the inner core and the outer core?

The Earth's core is thought to be predominantly iron (85 %) with some (4-5%) nickel and the remainder oxygen, silicon, hydrogen and carbon and a number of siderophile (iron liking) elements that descended to the core with iron during planetary differentiation. The inner core is solid and the outer core, liquid.
