    Stars that are formed with different masses are thought to have different properties, such as low mass stars are more likely to turn into dwarf planets and high mass stars are more likely to turn into supernovas. Average stars like the sun usually become white dwarfs and the process of emitting its outer layers carry on until the stellar core is revealed which is known as a white dwarf. White dwarfs have the mass of a star but are the size of our planet which arose various questions along the lines of why these dwarfs did not expand more. And the answer to this lies in quantum mechanics, as stated in the article Stars by NASA “pressure from fast moving electrons keeps these stars from collapsing. The more massive the core, the denser the white…

    Thesis Statement: During their existence, stars form when the density of interstellar gas and dust, which form molecular clouds, reaches a certain point, and die by collapsing and turning into a white dwarf or a neutron star. Stars can fail and become a brown dwarf. Stars form when the density of the concentration of molecular clouds collapses and reaches a certain point. These regions are usually extremely cold and contain carbon and hydrogen. However, not all materials from the clouds form…

    These include red dwarfs and yellow dwarfs. Red dwarfs are the most common star in the Milky Way Galaxy that is small and cool. Yellow dwarfs are also known as G-Type main sequence stars; they are also small. Giants and supergiants are old, large stars. Red giants are usually orange and are about six hundred light years away from Earth. Blue Giants are hot, blue stars that burn helium. Supergiants are the largest type of known star, and are sometimes as big as our entire solar system. When they…

    When a star is born it can take one of two paths. It can either take the path of a high mass star or the path of a low mass star. A high mass star will be between 10-50 solar mass and a low mass star will be between .8-10 solar masses. One solar mass is equal to M⊙ = (1.989±0.004) x 1030 kg, which is A LOT. Either path it takes, the one of a high mass or low mass star it will live about 90% of it’s lifetime in its main sequence. Once achieving nuclear fusion the star slowly contracts over…

    A white dwarf (also called a degenerate dwarf), is a stellar core remnant made up of mostly electron degenerate matter. These dwarfs are typically very dense, having a mass comparable to the Sun and volume comparable to the Earth (300 times). The white dwarf is also the final stage of a star and known as the “retired star.” The other dwarf mentioned, brown dwarf is known as the failed star. A celestial object intermediate in size between a giant planet and a small star, believed to mainly emit…
