The sun will not explode, it will turn into a red giant. The sun in around 8 billion years will not be able to burn at its core like it is now. The sun will burn at its surface, this will cause expansion causes the sun to swallow us. Also Our galazy could crash into another galaxy, but we are not sure if that could cause a sun "explosion".

Can a mid sized star become a or 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.


Will our sun become a black hole or a neutron star?

Neither. Our Sun will turn into a red giant, and then cool to become a white dwarf.


When the sun becomes a white dwarf how long would it take before Venus and mercury turned into icy and cold planets?

before the sun turns into a white dwarf it will expand, and expand, and expand and while its expanding it will suck in all/ most of the planets the ones that don't get sucked in will become really hot because once the suns done expanding after a while it will explode and the explosion will go VERY far.


Why no red dwarfs have become white dwarfs?

Red dwarfs have not yet evolved into white dwarfs because red dwarfs are much less massive than other types of stars that do become white dwarfs. Red dwarfs are the smallest and coolest stars, and they have not burned through their fuel quickly enough to go through the stage of becoming a white dwarf. It will take billions of years for a red dwarf to cool and fade into a white dwarf.


Why does the universe not contain any black dwarf stars?

It is not old enough. It is estimated that it would take trillions of years for a white dwarf to a black dwarf. The universe is only about 13.8 billion years old.

How long will it take for a brown dwarf to become a black dwarf?

A brown dwarf will never become a black dwarf. A black dwarf is what becomes of a white dwarf. This process takes hundreds of trillions of years.


How long does it take for a white dwarf to become a black dwarf?

Billions of years - longer than the life of our universe has passed from now (21st century).


How long does it take for a white dwarf to cool?

It is estimated to take at least several hundred trillion years.


How long will it take a white dwarf to cool and fade?

It takes several hundred trillion years of a white dwarf to cool.

What is the relationship of giant white dwarf and black dwarf?

A white dwarf star is a star that has burned off all of its helium and hydrogen fuel, but which is still hot. After it cools off (which would theoretically take hundreds of billions of years), it would become a black dwarf.


What is the relationship between a black dwarf and a white dwarf?

A black dwarf is a theoretical end-stage of a white dwarf star in the far future, after it has cooled down and no longer emits light. White dwarfs are hot, dense remnants of low to medium mass stars at the end of their evolution.


What is a star formed from a white dwarf that has lost its energy?

A white dwarf is the last stage of 97% of star evolution. A white dwarf will eventually cool down, and become a "black dwarf". Black dwarves are not expected to exist yet; to cool down to that level, it would take longer than the current age of the Universe.


Will our sun become a black hole or a neutron star?

Neither. Our Sun will turn into a red giant, and then cool to become a white dwarf.


How long does it take your female dwarf hamster to be fertilized?

For my hamster, it to about 10 seconds for her to become physically fertilized.


Why is a star to be dead when it becomes a white dwarf?

At that stage, it will no longer produce energy. All the energy it radiates out is its residual heat, and it will gradually get colder and colder. Due to its small size and high density, however, it will take trillions of years for the white dwarf to become a black dwarf.
