The Life Cycles of Stars In the universe‚ there are hundreds of billions of stars. They are formed when gas and dust from space "clump" together. As the mass grows larger‚ gravity takes over and a core begins to form. The core becomes extremely dense and this compaction causes temperatures within it to rise to the point where nuclear fusion (the burning of hydrogen in a chain reaction) can begin. The heat generated by fusion can reach 24 million degrees F (Fahrenheit). "That amount of heat keeps

the core as a gaseous shell. The gas that surrounds the core is called a "Planetary Nebula". The core that is left then becomes a "white dwarf". After the white dwarf cools down enough it stops shining and dies‚ forming a "black dwarf". Another life cycle of a star involves a star with a mass of 10 solar masses or more. These stars evolve similarly to stars of about 1 solar mass until they reach "main sequence". The star shines bright until all of its hydrogen has fused to form helium. This takes

Eventually though a passing star or shock wave from a supernova will disturb the gas and dust. The dust and gas may then start to clump together‚ gravity will then clump more and more gas together‚ this is when the star starts the next part of its life cycle. Protostar: A protostar is when the gas has clumped together and it getting hot but has not reached what is known as critical mass. At this point the gas will be hot enough to glow. but since there is still a large amount of dust su
