  • When a medium mass star begins to run out of fuel, what does it become?
    Red giant
  • Our sun is currently in what star stage?
    Main sequence
  • After a supernova, the core can collapse into a neutron star, or if massive enough it can become a:
    black hole
  • The stable and longest lasting period of a star’s life cycle is called:
    Main Sequence

    True
  • A star that has ignited and has used up all of the hydrogen is called:
    Red Giant
  • What does a low mass star become when it runs out of fuel?
    white dwarf
  • What type of stars' color is the hottest?
    Blue
  • One possible outcome that is left after a supernova is a super dense core called a:

  • What is the correct order of the life cycle of massive stars?
    Nebula --> protostar --> main sequence --> red supergiant --> supernova --> blackhole/ neutron star
  • A gigantic explosion that causes the death of a large star is called
    supernova
  • What fuel do main sequence stars use?
    H
  • A black hole is black because:
    even light cannot escape its gravity.
