Question

A star has a mass that is 1/5 that of earths sun. What will happen to the star as it ages? It will become a _____. A:Neutron star. B: black hole. C: Super Giant. D: Red Dwarf

Answer 1

good question ı will research it

Answer 2

ı think ı found an answer:
Depends on the star. A small one like ours will eventually run out of hydrogen fuel and start burning helium, and it's outer layers will expand until it gets really big, and we call that a red giant. Eventually, it ejects most of it's material to form a planetary nebula, leaving a small, dense core.

A really massive star has enough gravity that, as it runs out of fuel, the material isn't able to escape. As the nuclear reaction fizzles out it can't hold all that material up anymore, and it rapidly collapses. The collapse causes a spike in pressure, which in turn makes the star explode, what we call a supernova. Depending on the mass of the star, the explosion may blow away all the material, or leave a super dense core called a neutron star, or generate a black hole.

Answer 3

ı think it can be red dwarf in your answers

Answer 4

or can be red giant

Answer 5

The answer is-'Neutron Star', and i am sure of it.
Stars with masses bigger than 'Chandrasekhar Limit' will become black hole in the end. And those with less than that will become either a white giant or a neutron star. The value of the limit is '1.5 times mass of sun'.
As the given mass is 1/5 times the mass of sun, it will surely become a neutron star.
