When a red giant evolves into a white dwarf, most of its mass is lost during the outer envelope's expulsion, which occurs in the form of stellar winds and planetary nebulae. The core, which remains, is primarily composed of carbon and oxygen and is what ultimately forms the white dwarf. This process significantly reduces the star's mass, with only the dense core remaining as the white dwarf.

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.
How would you arrange this in order red giant white dwarf and main sequence and why?
The order of stellar evolution is typically: main sequence, red giant, and then white dwarf. Stars spend the majority of their life on the main sequence, where they fuse hydrogen into helium. As they exhaust their hydrogen, they expand into red giants. After shedding their outer layers, the remaining core becomes a white dwarf, which is the final stage of a low to medium mass star.
Where does most of a red giant go when the star becomes a white dwarf?
The white dwarf still has a lot of mass ( about 80% of the original star), but it only has a small size( less than two Earths). A huge volume of material forms a nebula which gradually disperses. This type of nebula is (confusingly) called a "planetary nebula".
Which of these has the smallest radius a 1.2 solar mass white dwarf a 0.6 solar mass white dwarf or Jupiter?
Jupiter is far larger than the other two. White dwarfs can be treated as Fermi gasses, and have the interesting property that as their mass increases their radius decreases. So the smallest is actually the 1.2 solar mass white dwarf.
How does a black dwarf star form?
A white dwarf is the last stage of a low mass stars life. After a red giant is done fusing helium to carbon and oxygen, the star will collapse to a white swarf. White dwarves are usually between 15,000-6,000 kelvins.A white dwarf is formed when a small or medium-sized star runs out of fuel in its core. The star becomes a red giant and later blow off the shell into the interstellar space. The remaining core becomes a white dwarf.

What is the relationship between mass and the and stages of stars?
The mass could either be a red giant or a super giant, they both evolve into different ways, after a star runs out of fuel, it becomes a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
What is the relationship between mass and the end stages of stars?
The mass could either be a red giant or a super giant, they both evolve into different ways, after a star runs out of fuel, it becomes a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
What the relationships between mass and the end stages of stars?
The mass could either be a red giant or a super giant, they both evolve into different ways, after a star runs out of fuel, it becomes a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
What is the relationship between mass and the end of stages and stars?
The mass could either be a red giant or a super giant, they both evolve into different ways, after a star runs out of fuel, it becomes a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
How does the mass of a star determine how it dies?
I believe if its over a certain mass it becomes 2 forms of super giant, then usually becomes supernova and cause a black hole. If under a certain mass it may expand slightly but then become a black or white dwarf star.
What changes are happing during the life cycle of a white dwarf?
The white dwarf will cool down till it becomes a black dwarf. If it's part of a close binary with a main sequence, giant or supergiant, the white dwarf can gain mass from the other star. This can start fusion of carbon in the white dwarf. Other fusion reactions quickly follow, causing it to explode. This is known as type 1a supernova.

If star having the same mass of Earth's Sun is likely to become a?
Red giant - then a white dwarf.
What is the star called that is after the Red Giant?
white dwarf if it has low mass Neutron star or Blackhole if it is massive enough to cause a red super giant
What determines a star becomes a white dwarf neutron star or a black hole?
its original mass when it formed
