At the end of its life, a medium star, like our Sun, will expand into a red giant and eventually shed its outer layers, creating a planetary nebula. The core that remains will contract and become a white dwarf, which will gradually cool and fade over time. This white dwarf ultimately ends its life as a cold, dark remnant known as a black dwarf, although the universe is not old enough for any black dwarfs to currently exist.
What else can I help you with?
What is a low or medium mass of star becomes and what at the end of its life?
A low or medium mass star will eventually evolve into a red giant as it depletes its core hydrogen fuel. Towards the end of its life, it will shed its outer layers and form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a dense core called 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.
A small dense star that forms at the end of a medium stars life cycle is?
Once a medium sized star has consumed all it's fuel it becomes a White Dwarf star (just the extremely dense core of the original star remains composed mainly of carbon). A White Dwarf star will, however, eventually lose it's heat to become a Black Dwarf.
What happens to a large mass star at the end of its life cycle?
At the end of its life cycle, a large mass star undergoes a supernova explosion after exhausting its nuclear fuel. This explosion disperses the outer layers of the star into space, while the core collapses under gravity, potentially forming a neutron star or a black hole. The remnant can have a profound impact on its surroundings, enriching the interstellar medium with heavy elements and triggering the formation of new stars.
How do the lives of the most massive stars end?
Less massive stars end up as white dwarfs. More massive stars end up as a supernova or a neutron star or for the really massive stars...as a black hole. As a star ends its time in the main sequence it either becomes a Red Giant and end its life as a White Dwarf or becomes a White Super Giant and ends its life in an explosion (supernova) and if it's really dense it becomes a neutron star or a black hole as mentioned above.

How long a star lives and what it becomes at the end life depends primarily on its?
size

How long a star lives and what is becomes at the end of its life depends primarily on what?
I think it´s mass.

What is the definition of what a medium mass star becomes at the end of it's life?
At the end of its life, a medium mass star, typically between about 1 to 8 times the mass of the Sun, evolves into a red giant and ultimately sheds its outer layers, creating a planetary nebula. The remaining core, which is primarily composed of carbon and oxygen, becomes a white dwarf. This white dwarf gradually cools and fades over time, eventually becoming a cold, dark remnant known as a black dwarf, although the universe has not yet had enough time for any black dwarfs to form.
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 does a medium mass star become at the end of its life?
At the end of its life, a medium mass star, such as our Sun, exhausts its nuclear fuel and undergoes a series of transformations. It expands into a red giant, shedding its outer layers to create a planetary nebula. The remaining core collapses into a white dwarf, which will slowly cool and fade over billions of years.
What star is at the end of its life cycle?
A red giant star is typically at the end of its life cycle. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, it expands and cools, becoming larger and brighter. Eventually, it may shed its outer layers, creating a planetary nebula, while the core remains and becomes a white dwarf. If the star is massive enough, it could instead end its life in a supernova explosion, leaving behind a neutron star or black hole.
What and average size star looks at the end of its life?
The average star will become a white dwarf at the end of its life.
What happens to a large mass star at the end of its life cycle?
At the end of its life cycle, a large mass star undergoes a supernova explosion after exhausting its nuclear fuel. This explosion disperses the outer layers of the star into space, while the core collapses under gravity, potentially forming a neutron star or a black hole. The remnant can have a profound impact on its surroundings, enriching the interstellar medium with heavy elements and triggering the formation of new stars.
What characteristic determines if a star will end its life as a black hole or neutron star?
The mass of the star.
