A star can begin as either an average sized star or a massive star. -average size -expands and becomes a red giant -cools and contracts, becomes a white dwarf star -massive sized stars -swell and become red supergiants -explode (called a supernova) Then it may -start over as a new start -become a black hole -become a neutron star

What is the difference between young stars old stars and dead stars?

Young stars are newly formed stars, often bright and hot, that are still in the early stages of their life cycle. Old stars are stars that have aged and passed the main sequence phase, becoming cooler and larger. Dead stars refer to objects that were once stars but have reached the end of their life cycle, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.


What are the star life cycle that are accurate?

The stages in a star's life cycle are: formation from a nebula, main sequence (where it fuses hydrogen into helium), red giant or supergiant phase, depending on the star's mass, and finally either collapse into a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. This life cycle is accurate for most stars, including our Sun.


Most stars are what kind of stars?

Most stars in the universe are main sequence stars. These stars are in a stable phase of their life cycle where they generate energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. The Sun is a main sequence star.


When or where does the dead star happen?

"Dead star" is a term used to describe various astronomical phenomena related to dying stars, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. These occur as stars reach the end of their life cycle and can be found throughout the universe.


What do scientists call the gas around a star at the end of its life cycle that will change into a new star?

The gas surrounding a star at the end of its life cycle is called a "nebula." This nebula is composed of gas and dust that can eventually condense under gravity to form new stars. The process of star formation from a nebula involves the collapse of these materials, leading to the birth of new stars and planetary systems.
