What causes a giant star to turn into a white dwarf?
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
What comes before white dwarf and after white dwarf?
Before a white dwarf, a star would undergo the red giant phase. After a white dwarf, a star may end its life cycle as a black dwarf, although no black dwarfs are currently known to exist in the universe due to the long timescales required for a white dwarf to cool down.
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.
Why would a white dwarf become a red dwarf?
A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.
How does a 1.2-solar-mass white dwarf compare to a 1.0 -solar-mass white dwarf?
The sun is still converting hydrogen into helium and on up the periodic table. Basically the sun is in static equillibrium between expansion and contraction due to gravity. When a sun reaches the white dward stage it no longer has the gravitational force to undergo the fusion of hydrogen into helium ect
What causes a giant star to turn into a white dwarf?
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
Why would a supergiant have a brighter absolute magintude than a white dwarf?
A supergiant is much larger than a white dwarf. A supergiant can be 10 to 70 times the size of our Sun, whereas a white dwarf is only about the size of the Earth.
What comes before white dwarf and after white dwarf?
Before a white dwarf, a star would undergo the red giant phase. After a white dwarf, a star may end its life cycle as a black dwarf, although no black dwarfs are currently known to exist in the universe due to the long timescales required for a white dwarf to cool down.
How would you arrange this in order red giant white dwarf and main sequence?
The correct order of these stellar evolutionary stages is main sequence, red giant, white dwarf. A star begins its life on the main sequence where it fuses hydrogen into helium. As it runs out of fuel, it expands into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and collapsing into a white dwarf.
What is the relationship of giant white dwarf and black dwarf?
A white dwarf star is a star that has burned off all of its helium and hydrogen fuel, but which is still hot. After it cools off (which would theoretically take hundreds of billions of years), it would become a black dwarf.
What is the life story of a star?
In short... Nebula of gases --> Protostar --> Brown Dwarf --> Yellow Star --> Blue Giant --> Blue Super Giant --> Red Super Giant --> Super Nova --> Black Hole/Neutron Star/White Dwarf You should note that at any time in the life cycle of a star it may simply run out of fuel and then fade into a white dwarf. Interesting side-note if our sun should evolve into a blue giant it would eliminate all life on earth and if our sun were to run out of fuel and turn into a white dwarf it would eliminate all life on earth. Food for thought :)
If the sun runs out of its core it will evolve into a?
If the sun were to run out of its core hydrogen fuel, it would evolve into a red giant star. During this phase, it would expand and eventually shed its outer layers into space, forming a planetary nebula, before collapsing into a white dwarf.
Is Saturn giant or small?
It is giant. If it was small, it would be a dwarf planet instead of a planet.
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.
Why would a white dwarf become a red dwarf?
A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.
Why would one red giant appear brighter than the other?
Three possibilities: It is brighter (some are brighter than others), it is bigger, or it is closer to earth.
What will happen if the sun will lost its fuel?
If the sun were to run out of fuel, it would eventually expand into a red giant, consuming Mercury and Venus, and possibly Earth. After this phase, it would shed its outer layers to become a planetary nebula, leaving behind its core as a white dwarf. The white dwarf would slowly cool and fade away over billions of years.
