Q: The Helium core contracts and heats the star enough to induce a hydrogen-burning shell… so what stops the helium core from contracting to zero radius (keep in mind that He fusion has not set in yet….)? A: Degeneracy pressure! The core becomes very dense… and two laws of quantum mechanics becom ...

... The Sun’s Life Cycle • What happens during a star’s life cycle depends on its mass. – It takes about 10 billion years for a star with the mass of the Sun to convert all of the hydrogen in its core into helium. – When the hydrogen in its core is gone, a star has a helium center and outer layers made ...

It is when a system shifts toward equilibrium in which fewer restrictions are placed on the positions and motion of the atoms and molecules. It is the measure of the unavailable energy in a system. It is the m ...
