Explain the steps of the life cycle of a star. Beginning with a nebula and ending with old age/death of a star, explain each step in a star’s life cycle
@aaronq Can you help? :D
Well stars begin from a nebula which is a collection of celestial matter that is scattered in space as well as gases mainly hydrogen this is the birth place of a star, their are multiple types of nebula but for the sake of simplicity I will not talk about that when this matter or dust and gas form together with gravitation force they form a star with the gas at its core fusing and producing energy at first they are protostars now form this point they can either become a average star or a massive star. in the life of an average star as the hydrogen continues to fuse slowly they begin to run out of hydrogen as they age they will go from a blue star, the youngest and hottest to a red giant which is they stage they become just before they exhaust their hydrogen and become a white dwarf. Where as a massive star will become a Red Super giant, and well implode on itself resulting in a super nova which afterwards will leave a black hole, or a neutron star
