A white dwarf star starts out like a our sun and turns into a white dwarf at the end of the stars life cycle. They have used up all their nuclear energy. At the end of this nuclear burning stage the star expels most to all of its outer materials. This creates what is known as a planetary nebula. The hot core is the only part of the star that remains. Temperatures of the core can and will exceed 100,000 Celsius becoming a very hot white. From this point the star starts to cool down, but that takes a billion years or more.
What else can I help you with?
Is Pollux a white dwarf star?
No, Pollux is not a white dwarf star. It is an orange giant star that is nearing the end of its life cycle. White dwarfs are remnants of stars like the Sun after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
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.
Which of the following will be the final stage in the sun and life cycle?
Most likely it will become a white dwarf.
What is the next stage in the life of a lower-mass main-sequence star?
white dwarf. unless you count black dwarf of which none have been observed, only theorized.
True or false. our sun is a white dwarf star?
False. The sun is a yellow main sequence star.
Are white dwarf stars always white?
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
What is the name for the portion of a stars life cycle when it is using hydrogen for fuel?
white dwarf
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.
Is Pollux a white dwarf star?
No, Pollux is not a white dwarf star. It is an orange giant star that is nearing the end of its life cycle. White dwarfs are remnants of stars like the Sun after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
Whats the life cycle of the stars?
A star's life cycle starts from a nebula. For giant stars, the star turns into a huge star to a super red giant to a supernova to a black hole. A sun-like star turns to a red giant, then a planetary nebula, a white dwarf, and then a black dwarf.
What is the final stage in the suns cycle life?
White Dwarf then Black Dwarf=Dead Star
What are the five main groups of stars?
The five main groups of stars are main sequence stars, giant stars, supergiant stars, white dwarf stars, and neutron stars. These groups are classified based on their size, temperature, and stage in their life cycle.
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.
Which best describe the final in our sun's life cycle?
It will collapse and become a white dwarf
What does a sunlike star become in the final state of it's life cycle?
the answer is white dwarf
Why is a star white?
stars are not always white there are many different types of star for example: Black Dwarf Red Giant White Dwarf Blue Giant Neutron they are all varying colors because of the configurations of gas and energy of particals. however 97% of our galaxy's stars are the fabled white dwarf these are white because they are expelling there entire energy at once, the white dwarf is the final stage of a stars life, aside from the purely theoretical black dwarf
Which of the following will be the final stage in the sun and life cycle?
Most likely it will become a white dwarf.
