How long a star lives depends on how much mass it began with. Small stars use their fuel slower than large stars so they live longer. Star-life Our Sun Now Our Sun in the future

Stage 1: Nebula Stars begin their lives in an area called a nebula. A nebula is a large amount of gas and dust spread out in a immense volume.

Stage 2:Protostar the early stage of a stars life. cloud of dust and gas is then clumped together by nuclear fusion to form what is called a protostar.

Step 3: Main Sequence Stars moves into the main sequence. becomes a medium size star spends most of its life. All other stars are measured in comparison to Sun.

As stars burn out of Hydrogen gas they move up and to the right. they become giants, and supergiants. Stars are burning Helium now. Stage 4: Giant and Supergiants

Stage 5: White and Black Dwarf When a Red giant starts to run out of fuel, it moves into the death stages. A white dwarf-is the blue-white hot core of a dead red giant. These are low mass stars. Sirius B is a White Dwarf Sirius A is a Main Sequence Star

OR Stage 5: Neutron It may also become: –A neutron star-formed from a supernova (the explosion of a Super giant). This is a high mass star.

OR Stage 5: Black Hole OR It may become : A Black Hole- a core of a super massive star that remains after a supernova. The gravity of this mass is so strong that not even light can escape it. SupernovaBlack Hole
