Every star in the Universe was born at some time. Currently, much less new stars are being born than when the Universe was young.

∙ 14y agoI just learned this in science i am only in 6th grade but here it is.Since there are different masses of stars there are three things that could happen to them.If it is a low mass star first it is called the main sequence which is what the sun is and that stage is when fusion happens and it lasts for billions of year.The next stage is it turns into a giant star which just means that it expands but it still makes fusion .The last stage is when it turns into a white dwarf which is just the core of the giant star but fusion does not occur but it can stay glowing and hot for milions of years.
Now if it is a High mass star one of two things can happen but they both start out the same and this is how its starts out firs it is called main sequence but it only last for millions of years may seem long but no compared to ours because it uses fusion faster.The next stage is called suprgiant which is like a giant star but mass is much larger.Now it starts to change because of all the fusion happening a supernova occurs and forms a neutron star or can form a black hole of it is extremely dense.
Hope my answer helped u out
Very good answer for a 6th grader, right now the Sun is burning Hydrogen it requires roughly 15,000,000K to do this once the Sun runs out of Hydrogen it will begin to burn Helium but in order to do this it has to increase it's core temp to roughly 30,000,000K and as a result the outer shell expands, once the helium is expended it will try to burn the oxygen, carbon, xenon etc but the Sun is not massive enough to generate the kind of temps need to burn the heavier elements (about 500,000,000K) so it will begin to shed off the outer shell and all that will remain is the white hot core that our 6th grade friend was talking about.

∙ 14y agoA star is formed out of cloud of cool, dense molecular gas. In order for it to become a star, the cloud needs to collapse and increase in density.

∙ 13y agoa star will grow until it stops in the middle of its "life". then slowly it will get bigger.

∙ 12y agothe stars grow bigger by having more air added to it and then once it gets to big it blows up :)

Do stars grow bigger as they get older?
Yes they do get bigger as they age. For example, the Sun is over 4.5 billion years old and look at how big it is.
How is the age of the galaxy determined?
By analysing the oldest stars found.The older the star, the older the Galaxy.
What galaxy contains mostly older stars with red color?
Elliptical galaxies have a red color because the stars in them are older and cooler. An example of an elliptical galaxy is Maffei 1.
Are main sequence stars older than red giants?
No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.
How do stars regenerate?
Sea Stars can grow back legs or arms if one gets cut off.
How do babies change as they grow?
they are covered with black down, but they grow feathers as they get older. The feathers are black and white.
Does a humans fingerprint ever change through out your lifetime?
No. As you grow older, your fingerprint never changes. But the size of the fingerprint does change as your fingers grow bigger.
How do baby puffins change as they grow?
they are covered with black down, but they grow feathers as they get older. The feathers are black and white.
Does what you refuse to do change as you grow older?
Yes it does.Because as you are gettin older you will see that some of the things that you refuse to do will help you as you get older or sometimes teach you a lesson.
Does what ou you refuse to do change as you grow older?
Yes it does.Because as you are gettin older you will see that some of the things that you refuse to do will help you as you get older or sometimes teach you a lesson.
Do star grow bigger as they come older?
Most stars (including our own sun) as they grow older, eventually cool, expanding into a red-giant. After a period of time as a red-giant, they shrink to a hugely dense but very small white dwarf.
Why does your voice change when you get older?
In teens the reason for your voice to change as you get older is hormones. It is also because the voice box matures in the late teen years. As people get older changes have to do with the normal aging process and the drying out of mucous membranes.
What animals do not change?
All animals change, it's called evolution. As they age, they grow and then become older. It's a natural process.
Do stars grow bigger as they get older?
Yes they do get bigger as they age. For example, the Sun is over 4.5 billion years old and look at how big it is.
Why do people change their names?
People change their names when the get older because they are not the same people as an adult. Maybe they like their name as a kid but they change when they grow up.
How do tade poles loose their tails?
They grow and develop into frogs, just like humans change as they get older.
Why are older stars in the center of a galaxy?
Because newer stars are forming at the outer edges, and because the gravitational pull is stronger for the older stars.
