Life Cycle of the Sun

When a medium mass star gets older and uses up its hydrogen, it goes from a main sequence star to a -

• White Dwarf

• Red Super Giant

• Black Hole

• Red Giant

The Sun is classified as a -

• White Dwarf

• Planetary Nebula

• Red Giant

• Main Sequence Star

How is the life cycle of a star like a cycle?

• The number of stars in the universe is constant

• Black holes provide the gravity needed to form nebula

• The life Cycle of a star is very predictable

• A supernova redistributes dust and gases which can form new stars
