The answer depends on the original mass of the star. If it was not too massive, it will shrink to a dwarf star. If it was sufficiently massive, it will explode as a nova. A really massive star, exploding as a supernova, will leave behind either a neutron star, a pulsar or a black hole.

Which event in the life cycle of a star causes it to begin to grow?

This will happen when the star starts to run out of hydrogen fuel.


What happen to the star when they begin to rend out of a fuel?

they become super novas and explode


What triggers a super nova?

A supernova occurs when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity, leading to a powerful explosion. This can happen when a star's core reaches the end of its fusion process and can no longer support the star against its own gravity.


How are a black holes started?

It is believed that they usually start from the gravitational collapse of a massive star - once it runs out of fuel.


How do black holes happen?

It happens when a star 8 times bigger than the sun(if the star is bigger it uses up more fuel/hydrogen)starts to run out of fuel and turns helium into heavier elements and when it finally reaches iron it collapses and turn into a neutron star, then a black hole.


What is the name of a star that has exploded?

Some massive stars reach a supernova state once they have exhausted all their nuclear fuel.


What will happen when a star 30 times the mass of the sun runs out of nuclear fuel?

Such a star will first have a supernova explosion, due to instability in the nucleus. Then it will most likely turn into a black hole.


When a neutron star runs out of fuel what does it become?

A neutron star is already the remains of a massive star that has run out of fuel.


What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?

Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.

What does a star turn into after it runs out of fuel?

a dwarf star


What would happen if the sun had no core?

The core is necessary for a star's existence, it's the engine that keeps it from collapsing. When this engine runs out of fuel or its fuel vanishes, gravity overcomes and contracts the star until matter from the radiative zone is compressed enough to start fusing hydrogen again to counterbalance gravity.
