NGSS.HS-PS2-4

What part of a star's life cycle is labelled C?

• protostar

• white dwarf

• planetary nebula

• white giant

Tags

NGSS.HS-ESS1-3

What is occuring at D?

• the contraction of gases due to gravity leads to the fusion of elements

• the core collapses, and the outer layers are ejected in a huge explosion when all the fuel is consumed

• as hydrogen is consumed, fusion slows and the outer layers expand

• when all material has been fused into iron, the core collapses and the force of the collapsing material is so great that nothing can stop it
