                                      Red Dwarf
        Red Dwarf stars (红矮星) can range in size from a hundred
times smaller than the sun to only a couple of times smaller.
Because of their small size these stars burn their fuel very slowly
which allows them to live a very long time. Some red dwarf stars
will live trillions of years before they run out of fuel.
     Then why are red dwarf stars red? Beacuse red dwarf stars
only burn a little bit of fuel at a time they are not very hot
compared to other stars. Think of a fire. The coolest part of the
fire at the top of the flame glows red the hotter part in the middle
glows yellow and the hottest part near the fuel glows blue. Stars
work the same way. Their temperatures determine what color they
will be. Thus we can determine how hot a star is just by looking at
its color.
         Like the Sun these medium(中等的) -sized stars are yellow
because they have a medium temperature. Their higher
temperature causes them to burn their fuel faster.  This means they
will not live as long only about 10 billion years or so.  Near the
end of their lives these medium-sized stars swell up becoming
very large.  When this happens to the Sun it will grow to engulf(吞
没) even the Earth.  Finally they shrink again leaving behind
most of their gas. This gas forms a beautiful cloud around the star
  called a Planetary Nebula(行星状星云) .
     When will the Sun expand into a giant and then shrink
leaving behind a planetary nebula?
        Don't worry. The sun is only about 5 billion years old.  It still
has another 5 billion years before it will expand and then turn
into a planetary nebula.
        The Sun is so hot that when it dies it will take a long time to
cool off. The sun will die in about 5 billion years but it will still
glow for many billions of years after that. As it cools it will be
what is called a white dwarf star.  Finally after billions maybe
even trillions of years it will stop glowing at that point it will be
what we call a black dwarf star. There are still no black dwarf
stars in the Universe.
