Question
- what happens to the suns atmosphere as the core grows hotter?
- what type of star will the sun eventually turn into?
- what is the name of the brightest star in the night sky?
Brief Explanations
- As the Sun's core grows hotter, increased thermal pressure pushes the outer atmospheric layers outward, causing the atmosphere to expand and cool, becoming a red giant's extended envelope.
- The Sun is a low-mass star; once it exhausts all its nuclear fuel, it will shed its outer layers and leave behind a dense, Earth-sized stellar remnant.
- This star is located in the constellation Canis Major and has the highest apparent brightness as seen from Earth.
