When our Sun dies, it will shed its outer layers, leaving behind a white dwarf primarily composed of carbon and oxygen. This is a result of the fusion processes that occurred during its lifetime, where hydrogen was converted into helium, and later, helium into carbon and oxygen in its core. The white dwarf will no longer undergo fusion and will gradually cool down over time.

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.


Will the sun become a giant diamond?

No. When the sun dies it will form an object called a white dwarf, made mostly of carbon and oxygen. A white dwarf is made of electron degenerate matter, a state of matter far denser than anything found on Earth.


When a red dwarf dies does it make a nebula?

Yes, but it can also make a black hole or a white dwarf.


When the sun dies what kind of star will it be?

It will first become a red giant, then turn into a white dwarf and in billions and billions of years it will become a black dwarf.


Can our sun become a neutron star?

No. it is not massive enough. When the sun dies it will become a white dwarf.


Can the sun leave a black hole when it dies?

No. It is not nearly massive enough. When the sun dies it will leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf.


Will the sun become a brown dwarf?

No. A brown dwarf is a failed star, one that is not massive enough to start nuclear fusion. The sun is well above the threshold of fusion. When it dies it will become a white dwarf.

Is a dead star the some as a black dwarf?

No, a dead star is different from a black dwarf. A black dwarf is a type of stellar remnant, but not all stars become black dwarfs. When a star dies it will leave behind a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black dwarf as a remnant depending on its mass. Given enough time a white dwarf will eventually cool to a black dwarf. The universe is not old enough for this cooling to have happened yet.


What would happen to the sun when it dies?

Convert into a dwarf white star which is really hot, then a neutron star, and finally, a black hole.


What happens after a red giant dies?

After a red giant exhausts its nuclear fuel, it undergoes a dramatic transformation. The outer layers are expelled, creating a planetary nebula, while the core remains and contracts into a white dwarf. This dense remnant will gradually cool and fade over billions of years. In more massive red giants, the core may collapse into a neutron star or black hole instead of becoming a white dwarf.
