The life cycle of stars describes the path of changes and transformations that stars experience throughout their lifespan of millions of years. Stars take on their path after being born in a stellar nebula, a giant cloud of gas and dust.
There are two main paths that stars can take that are dependent on the size of the new star. The bigger stars will become massive stars, while the regular ones become average stars. Average stars, like our Sun, will grow to be red giants, then shed their layers into a planetary nebula, leaving only the core to become a white dwarf.
