- 5. hot, superdense care made up of neutrons
- 8. hydrogen gas is pulled into a dense ball by gravity
- 9. the git, dense core remains
- 10. fusion forms elements up to iron and the star’s outer layers expand
Down

- 4. more than 8 times the mass of the sun, only last about a million years
- 6. nebula the outer layers escape the core’s gravity and drift out into space
- 7. helium starts to fuse and the star’s outer layers expand
