Life Cycles of Stars
THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE (PATH A STAR WILL
TAKE) IS THE STAR’S
MASS
![Page 3: Life Cycles of Stars. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE ( PATH A STAR WILL TAKE ) IS THE STAR’S MASS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649ea05503460f94ba267b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
STAGE 1: FOR ALL STARS NO MATTER WHAT THEIR MASS
Protostars
![Page 4: Life Cycles of Stars. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE ( PATH A STAR WILL TAKE ) IS THE STAR’S MASS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649ea05503460f94ba267b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Protostars All stars form in
nebulas huge clouds of gas (hydrogen) in which stars are made.
Nebula are 1000’s of times bigger than our solar system
As part of the nebula the clouds collapses stars are “born: in them

Pillars of Creation

STAGE 2: FOR ALL STARS NO MATTER WHAT THEIR MASS
Main Sequence Phase
![Page 7: Life Cycles of Stars. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE ( PATH A STAR WILL TAKE ) IS THE STAR’S MASS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649ea05503460f94ba267b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Main Sequence Star Main Sequence
is the longest phase of all stars life
How long a star remains in Main Sequence depends on its MASS.
Our sun is about half way through it’s main sequence of about 10 billion years
![Page 8: Life Cycles of Stars. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE ( PATH A STAR WILL TAKE ) IS THE STAR’S MASS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649ea05503460f94ba267b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Main Sequence & Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion –changes one element into another (one kind of atom into another) this gives off energy in the form of HEAT and LIGHT
A protostar will not enter main sequence if it does not have enough mass and will become a brown dwarf
A proto star must have enough mass, and pressure to begin main sequence and be called a Star

STAGE 3: FOR ALL STARS NO MATTER WHAT THEIR MASSRed Giant Phase or for those very large stars Super Massive Red Giants
![Page 12: Life Cycles of Stars. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE ( PATH A STAR WILL TAKE ) IS THE STAR’S MASS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649ea05503460f94ba267b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Red Giant As the star changes
all of it’s hydrogen into helium the outer layers of the star will become cooler
The layers will expand.
For our Solar System Mercury and Venus will most likely be engulfed with Earth very close to the sun so all living things will be gone.

STAGE 4: FOR LOW/MEDIUM MASS STARS LIKE THE SUN
Planetary Nebula
![Page 16: Life Cycles of Stars. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE ( PATH A STAR WILL TAKE ) IS THE STAR’S MASS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649ea05503460f94ba267b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The end of step 3 – Planetary Nebula
![Page 17: Life Cycles of Stars. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE ( PATH A STAR WILL TAKE ) IS THE STAR’S MASS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649ea05503460f94ba267b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Planetary Nebula
Starts the “Death” of a star like our Sun
Outer layers are expelled by solar winds
Returning materials to interstellar space
![Page 18: Life Cycles of Stars. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE ( PATH A STAR WILL TAKE ) IS THE STAR’S MASS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649ea05503460f94ba267b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
STAGE 5: LOW/MEDIUM MASS STARS LIKE SUN
White Dwarf –
![Page 19: Life Cycles of Stars. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE LIFE CYCLE ( PATH A STAR WILL TAKE ) IS THE STAR’S MASS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649ea05503460f94ba267b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
White Dwarf
Gravity will cause the red giant to collapse
The star is now much cooler and it collapses into a small white star
It still has the same original mass

Black Dwarf
The star cools more and more
Eventually it will become a black mass emitting no light
It will then spend the rest of eternity drifting silently through space

Neutron Star Giant stars at least
6 solar masses ( They are compact
objects that are created in the cores of massive star during supernova The core of the star collapses, and crushes and leaves only the neutrons

Black hole
After the supernova a huge mass is left behind.
Formed by stars that are 8 X’s or larger stellar masses than the Sun
Black holes can suck in nearby stars and solar systems.
