2. which of the following happens when a low - mass star runs out of fuel ? choose all that apply . ( 3points ) A ITS CORE BECOMES A WHITE DWARF B ITS OUTER LAYERS FORM a nebula , or vast cloud of gas and dust c its outer layers expand , and the star becomes a red giant d. gas and dust in a nebula contract to form a protostar
(3 points) so only one of them is wrong, lets work it out. make any guess and we will start from their!
yes thats why I THOUGHT
When a low mass star eventually runs out of fuel, it will collapse in on itself and form a white dwarf star, which will gradually turn into a black dwarf as it cools.
A low mass star will burn very slowly for a very long time, maybe hundreds of billions of years at a cool red temperature. It will eventually run out of fuel, nuclear fusion will cease and it will contract to become a hotter White dwarf star, which will eventually become a black dwarf star as it cools.
This is science and [ Chemistry ] is real good at these!
:)
yes
Thank you for the Medal :)
