How is a star born? 1. A star is born from a collapsing nebula from heat and pressure
When is a star in the main sequence stage? • 2. A star is in the main sequence stage when nuclear fusion begins. • Longest and most stable part of a star’s life
What are blue stars? • 3. Blue Stars • Very massive • Quickly uses hydrogen • Expands and turns into a giant or supergiant
What is a Red Dwarf? • 4. Red Dwarf • Low mass, cool, dim • Some of the oldest stars
When does a star get old? • 5. A star gets old when • Runs out of hydrogen. • Center shrinks • Grows large and cools • Very massive become red giants or supergiants
How does a star die? • 6. A star dies when • Fusion stops • Core glows • becomes a white dwarf which is small and hot • Outer layers drift away from core • When white dwarf stops glowing it becomes a brown dwarf
