Does the sun eventually become a neutron star?

No, the sun will not become a neutron star. Neutron stars form from the remnants of massive stars that have undergone a supernova explosion. The sun is not massive enough to undergo this process and will instead evolve into a white dwarf.


Why do some stars become white dwarfs and others become neutron stars and black holes?

Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star


What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?

the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf


What is a low- meduim- mass star the becomes the end of its life?

A low to medium-mass star eventually evolves into a red giant as it runs out of fuel in its core. After shedding its outer layers, the star will collapse into a white dwarf, which is the end stage of its life cycle.


Will a neutron star eventually go supernova?

No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.

Do medium size stars become black holes?

No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.


What is the difference between stars that become white dwarfs stars that become neutron stars and stars that become black holes?

The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.

What is made when stars die?

There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.


Do massive stars become neutron stars?

Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.


Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?

Yes, a star of low to medium mass, like the sun, will eventually turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle. This occurs after the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and shed its outer layers.


What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?

Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.


Medium size stars become black holes true or false?

False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.


Could an average stars such as our sun become a neutron star?

No. Stars such as our sun become white dwarfs. Only stars 8-10 times the mass of the sun or more become neutron stars.


What do stars that have ejected a planetary nebula eventually become?

Stars that have ejected a planetary nebula eventually become white dwarfs. These are core remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel. White dwarfs gradually cool down over billions of years to become black dwarfs.


Will the sun turn into a neutron star?

No. It does not have enough mass. Only stars 8 times the mass of the sun or greater can become neutron stars. The sun will become a white dwarf.
