It's difficult to know exactly what Betelgeuse will become, but it will most likely explode as a supernova. The result will probably be a black hole, but depending on the magnitude of the explosion, it could become a neutron star or pulsar.

Will a Betelgeuse star become a black dwarf when it dies?

No I don't think it will because there isn't enough stuff to make one


What is the difference between stars that become dwarf stars and stars that become neutron stars?

A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.


What is the difference between Betelgeuse and the sun?

Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the constellation Orion, while the Sun is a medium-sized yellow dwarf star at the center of our solar system. Betelgeuse is significantly larger and more luminous than the Sun, with a diameter approximately 1,000 times greater and a brightness about 100,000 times that of the Sun. Additionally, Betelgeuse is nearing the end of its life cycle and is expected to explode as a supernova, whereas the Sun is in a stable phase of its life and will eventually become a red giant before shedding its outer layers to form a white dwarf.


What does a white dwarf become when it gets colder?

A brown/black dwarf.


What does the sun become when it burns out?

A white dwarf


How long will it take for a brown dwarf to become a black dwarf?

A brown dwarf will never become a black dwarf. A black dwarf is what becomes of a white dwarf. This process takes hundreds of trillions of years.
