What remains after a low-mass or medium-mass star dies?
After a low-mass or medium-mass star dies, it will typically leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf. A white dwarf is a dense, Earth-sized core made primarily of carbon and oxygen. It gradually cools and fades over billions of years.
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.
How do you know what star becomes when it dies?
You will know what a star becomes when it dies based off of its mass. If the mass of the star is less than, around, or slightly greater than the sun's mass, it will become a white dwarf. If the mass of the star is a few solar masses, a supernova will happen and a neutron star will be created. If the mass of the star is many times that of the sun, it will explode in a giant supernova called a hypernova and create a black hole.
Is white dwarf a massive star?
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
How a star dies is determined by its age shape position in its galaxy mass?
A star's death is primarily determined by its mass. Low to medium mass stars, like our Sun, will eventually exhaust their fuel and turn into a red giant before shedding their outer layers to form a planetary nebula and eventually becoming a white dwarf. Higher mass stars can undergo supernova explosions and leave behind neutron stars or black holes. Other factors such as age, shape, and position can influence the details of the death process, but mass is the most critical factor.

Is planet nebula real?
The correct term is planetary nebula. Such nebulae form when a low to medium mass star dies.
Is the sun a high mass star?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
Is a white dwarf older the a red dwarf?
Not necessarily. A white dwarf is simply the remains of a low to medium mass star that has died. A red dwarf is a low mass star. Since red dwarfs last longer than medium mass stars, one could easily be older than a white dwarf.
Is the sun a high mass?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
How does a blue star become a yellow star?
It can't. A blue star is a high-mass star. A yellow star has a medium mass.
What is the difference between the protostar and the white dwarf?
A protostar is a young star in the early stages of formation, where nuclear fusion has not yet begun. A white dwarf is a small, dense star that is the remnant core of a low to medium mass star after it has exhausted its nuclear fuel.
If a star dies what happens?
it depends on the mass. If the star is small and it dies then it will turn into a red giant then a white dwarf. But if the star has enough mass and is bigger than any other star then it will collapse and turn into a black hole.
Is Sirius a medium mass star?
Yes, Sirius is about twice as massive as our sun, making it a medium mass star. It is quite a bit brighter, however, and is the second brightest star in our sky.
Are white dwarf stars a low mass star?
A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
What is the temperature of a star when it dies?
The temperature of a star when it dies depends on its mass. Low to medium mass stars, like our Sun, will cool and expand into a red giant before shedding their outer layers to form a planetary nebula. The remaining core will eventually cool into a white dwarf, with temperatures around 10,000 K. Higher mass stars can end their lives as supernovae, neutron stars, or black holes, with temperatures reaching millions of degrees.
What is the final state of a medium-mass star?
white dwarf
