A group of scientists found a new star in the galaxy. They determined that it was over 5x the size of our sun and is in its main sequence. What would be the next phase of this star’s life?*1 pointRed GiantWhite DwarfRed SupergiantNeutron Star

The next phase of this star's life would be a Red Giant.

What is a phase that our sun, a small to average sized star, will never experience?

Supernova. Our sun, as a small to average-sized star, does not have enough mass to undergo a supernova explosion at the end of its life.

Put the following in order for the life cycle of a SMALL or AVERAGE Sized Star: (View this image to help you -Star Life Cycle

Protostar ==> Nebula ==> Main Sequence Star ==> Red Supergiant ==> Supernova ==>Black Hole

The correct order for the life cycle of a small or average-sized star is:

Nebula ==> Protostar ==> Main Sequence Star ==> Red Giant ==> Planetary Nebula ==> White Dwarf

A ball of burning plasma…mostly hydrogen and helium
The result of clouds of gas in space colliding and causing nuclear fusion
The process by which most elements are formed and released into the universe
All of the above

All of the above statements are correct. A star can be defined as a ball of burning plasma, mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. It is formed as a result of clouds of gas in space colliding and causing nuclear fusion, which is the process responsible for the formation and release of most elements into the universe.
