Question

Our Sun has enough mass so that after it leaves the main-sequence it will eventually become a neutron star A) True B) False

Answer 1

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sum is G type main sequence which comprises of about 99.8 % of its mass, for it to become a neutron star it needs to have a mass of 10 to 29 solar masses i.e 8 times more brighter than the other stars. So it will take about 5 billion years for the sun to become a red giant and conditions needed for the formation of neutron star should be supernova in nature.
