Ch 17 Life Cycle of Stars Test Review

Stars are formed from big clouds of gas and dust is known as:

• dust cloud

• space fog

• neutron clouds

• nebulae

A star is born when:

• nuclear fusion starts

• a nebula becomes a protostar

• gases in a nebula condense

• hydrogen is used up in fusion processes

A star that has ignited and has used up all of the hydrogen is called:

• Neutron Star

• White Dwarfs

• Red Giants

• Black Holes

When the core of a Red Giant collapses it becomes a:

• White Dwarf

• Supernova

• Red Supergiant

• Black Hole

When a massive star begins to cool and expand it is known as a:

• Black Dwarf

• Red Giant

• Red Supergiant

• White Dwarf

When the core of a Red Supergiant collapses, a bright event occurs, known as:

• white dwarf

• supernova

• big bang

• black hole

After a supernova, the core can collapse into a neutron star, or if massive enough it can become a:

• Black Hole

• White Dwarf

• Red Supergiant

• Black Dwarf

When a Red Giant's outer atmosphere drifts away it is now known as:

• planetary cloud

• White dwarf cloud

• planetary nebula

• expanding nebula

One possible outcome that is left after a supernova is a super dense core called a:

• Neutron Star

• White Dwarf

• Red Giant

• Black Dwarf

A black hole is black because:

• there is nothing in it

• it is too small to see

• it is inherently evil

• even light cannot escape its gravity
