An average star like the Sun will eventually exhaust its nuclear fuel and expand into a red giant before shedding its outer layers to form a planetary nebula. What remains will be a dense core called a white dwarf, which will gradually cool over billions of years.

The sun will eventually end up as a?

white dwarf star


The Sun will eventually end up as a what?

Earth's sun is currently a main sequence star which has a small mass. Eventually it will expand into Red Giant star once the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium gas. After the Red Giant phase, the star throws off its outer layers and then becomes a planetary nebula. A sun-like star will either become a white dwarf or black dwarf following the planetary nebula.


Why is the sun or the star eventually die?

Stars like the sun eventually die because they run out of nuclear fuel to sustain the fusion reactions in their cores. When a star exhausts its hydrogen fuel, it expands into a red giant, sheds its outer layers, and eventually collapses into a dense core, either becoming a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, depending on its mass. This marks the end of the star's life cycle.


An average star wiill eventually becomes a?

An average star like our sun will eventually become a red giant as it exhausts its nuclear fuel. After that, it will shed its outer layers to form a planetary nebula and leave behind a dense core called a white dwarf.


What is the final stage in life for a star as massive as the sun?

In fact, the sun is not massive. It is an average, yellow star. When the sun goes into its next stage, it becomes a red giant. This could consume the whole solar system. Then, when it burns out, the gases escape into space, and it becomes a little tiny star called a white dwarf. Eventually it will burn out, and that's how the sun's lifecycle works.

How does the stars in earth's solar system compare with other stars?

There is only one star in the solar system: Sol, or the Sun. The Sun is a small to medium size star, and is about half as old as it will eventually get before it turns into a white dwarf star. Our Sun is a very average star when compared to all the others.


Why will a sun or star eventually die?

yes unfortunately


What is an average star like a sun?

the sun is smaller than average I think


How small is the normal star?

Our Sun is above average; the average star is a red dwarf, with a fraction of the mass of our Sun, and a fraction of its diameter.

How did the sun become a big star?

First off, the Sun is not a big star. It is a Main Sequence star, which means it's an average size star. Second, at the formation of your Solar System, gravity caused rocks to start getting closer together and spinning. Eventually, the friciton and gravity was so great, and became so hot, the spinning rocks became a star, known as the Sun.


Is our sun a planet or a star?

the sun is yes indeed a star, hard to believe but it is an average sized star, and it is composed of gas
