Life Cycle of a Star
Across
- 1. The state reached when both the gas pressure and gravity of a star is equal
- 4. The basic element of a star
- 7. The phase at which stars live most of their life
- 10. Occurs at the end of a low-mass red giant's life
- 13. Forms when a supermassive star collapses at the end of its life cycle
- 14. A hot ball of gas
- 15. What determines what happens to a star after its life in the main sequence
- 16. The phase after the main sequence for both low and high mass stars
- 17. Forms when low mass star runs out of fuel
- 19. Same thing as a giant star only bigger
- 20. Large stars that live in the main sequence for 20 million years
Down
- 2. Another word for shine, stars do this with light
- 3. Lives in the main sequence for 80 to 100 billion years
- 5. A medium-sized low-mass star
- 6. The last stage of a massive star's life
- 8. The core left behind after a supernova
- 9. Inside the nebula where gas and dust are pulled together with strong gravitational attractions
- 11. The end products of a white dwarf
- 12. The birthplace of a star, where interstellar media begins to collect into big clouds
- 18. Combines nuclei of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms, energy is released every time two particles fuse
