She doesn't mention the supernova stage. I thought that when our sun first starts to die it will swell up to past the Earths orbit forming a red giant. Then will shrink into a white dwarf.
-
btw the sun is halfway thru its lifetime
-
@transformersfan43 Thanks :)
-
I just have one question. How can a black hole pull in light? Does light have a mass? Great Video thanks for posting it!
-
@coolscott30 its a medium sized star so it has a moderate time to live the sun has 10 billion years in its lifetime the sun is 4.5 billion years old do the math
-
@SpitzerScienceCenter You said that the smaller the star, the longer it will live, am I right? So the Sun is a big star, am I right? So that means that the Sun has a short time to live?
-
well, the sun is just a star yes. But the stars are not really suns. That big white-yellow light in the sky is what our ancestors called the sun. Centuries later people found out there are more of these things.
i hope this makes some sense to you
-
I like them too. Airheads should be thrown down a black hole.

I like Dr. Michelle Thaller, I like intelligent women ;-)

The word "Sun" is just a label or name that humans have given to our star. Yes the sun is a star, more specifically its a "G2 Dwarf Star".

thanks for the info. i've heared that stars can live shorter or longer than others due to there size or type. is this true?
andyb9275 2 years ago
Yes. In general, the smaller the star, the longer it will live.
