A medium-sized main sequence star, like our Sun, goes through several stages in its life cycle. It starts as a protostar, forming from a cloud of gas and dust, and then enters the main sequence phase where it fuses hydrogen into helium in its core, maintaining stability for billions of years. Once it exhausts its hydrogen supply, it evolves into a red giant, eventually shedding its outer layers to create a planetary nebula. The remaining core then becomes a white dwarf, which will gradually cool and fade over time.

Is the sun is a planet?
No, the sun is not a planet. It is a star, specifically a medium-sized main sequence star that generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core. Planets orbit stars, including our sun.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
Is the sun a lower mass star or a higher mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star on the main sequence.
What is a stellar cycle?
A stellar cycle refers to the regular pattern in which a star goes through various stages of its life, such as the changes in energy output, size, and temperature over time. This cycle is influenced by the star's mass and can involve phases like main sequence, red giant, and white dwarf stages. The Sun, for example, is currently in the middle of its stellar cycle as a main sequence star.
When does pro-to star become a star?
I actually thought that would be when the star starts fusing hydrogen into helium... But apparently there are other stages between those two.According to Wikipedia, "[The protostar phase] ends when the protostar blows back the infalling gas and is revealed as an optically visible pre-main-sequence star, which later contracts to become a main sequence star."Pre-main sequence means the star is not yet on the main sequence; and that, in turn, basically means that it is not yet fusing hydrogen into helium.
What are the stages of a medium sized star?
Protostar, Main Sequence, Red Giant, Super Nova, and the Neutron Star.
Are main sequence stars called medium sized stars?
No. Main sequence stars are simply stars that are fusing hydrogen into helium and have a specific relationship between color and luminosity. They range from red dwarfs to large O-type main sequence stars.
How far is the main sequence star from sun?
Do You Know That The Sun Is How Far From Main Sequence Or Called White Dwarfs .. The Sun Is Our Star And It's Size Is Medium-Sized The Far As 8,400 Solar Radii In Sun ,,
What size star is our sun?
Our sun is a medium-sized star known as a G-type main-sequence star. It is classified as a yellow dwarf and is about 1.4 million kilometers in diameter.
Is the sun known as the medium sized yellow star?
Yes, the sun is a medium-sized yellow star in our galaxy, known as the Milky Way. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, and its yellow color is due to its surface temperature and composition.
What is a medium sized house like?
A medium sized house usually hasa basement,a main floor ,an upstairs unit for the bedrooms,and an attic.If it is a medium sized house then it will also have a FULL set of stairs not just one or two
Why will the color of the sun change from yellow to red when it becomes giant?
Color is related to surface temperature, and a "red giant" is cooler than a main sequence, medium-sized star like the Sun.
Why will the color of the sun change from yellow to red when it become a giant?

How does fusion begin in a sun-sized star?
During the main sequence of the star.
Is the sun is a planet?
No, the sun is not a planet. It is a star, specifically a medium-sized main sequence star that generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core. Planets orbit stars, including our sun.
What are the stages of the stars life?
Nebula- protostar- Main Sequence Main Sequence- Red Giant- planetary nubula- white dwarf- black dwarf Main Sequence- Red Supergiant- supernova explosion- Nuetron star or a black hole
What are the large cool stars that are not in the main sequence?
Red giants. They are medium and large stars that have used up all of their hydrogen and gave begun burning the helium. They begin to expand while they are in their "dying" phase. They will ultimately become a white dwarf if they were a medium sized star during their main sequence, or they will become a black hole or a neutron star if they were a large star during their main sequence.
