| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | the blue-white hot core of a star that is left behind after its outer layers have expanded and drifted out into space | 17 sets | |
| 2 | late stage in the life cycle of a comparatively low-mass main sequence star; formed when its core depletes its helium and its outer layers escape into space, leaving behind a hot, dense core | 13 sets | |
| 3 | a dim star that forms from a collapsed red giant | 13 sets | |
| 4 | late stage in the life cycle of a main sequence star in which its core uses up its helium and its outer layers escape into space, leaving behind a hot, dense core | 7 sets | |
| 5 | a faint star of enormous density | 6 sets | |
| 6 | the blue-white hot core of a star that is left behind after its outer layers have expanded and drifted out into space. | 6 sets | |
| 7 | small dense star | 5 sets | |
| 8 | a small, hot star near the end of its life; the leftover center of an old star | 4 sets | |
| 9 | late stage of an average star's life after fusion when core contracts and emits light due to its heat and the outer layers escape, | 4 sets | |
| 10 | when small stars collapse as they die | 4 sets | |
| 11 | small dense dead star, very hot due to its gravitational collapse, no fusion going on, made up of normal matter (electrons orbiting the atoms nucleus) | 4 sets | |
| 12 | the remaining hot core of a star after its outer layers have expanded and drifted out into space. | 3 sets | |
| 13 | a small, hot, dim star that is the leftover center of an old star | 3 sets | |
| 14 | the remaining hot core of a star after its outer layers have expanded and drifted out into space | 3 sets | |
| 15 | the blue-white core of the star that is left behind cools | 3 sets | |
| 16 | a very small dying star that gives off very little light | 3 sets | |
| 17 | the blue-white core of the star that is left behind cools and becomes a | 2 sets | |
| 18 | still hot stored energy, about the size of earth | 2 sets | |
| 19 | a low-mass stellar remnant that has exhausted all its thermonuclear fuel and contracted to a size roughly equal to the size of the earth | 2 sets | |
| 20 | the leftover center of an old star that is very hot | 2 sets | |
| 21 | stage in which a star has used up its helium and its outer layers escape into space, leaving behind a hot, dense core that contracts | 2 sets | |
| 22 | small, hot star consisting of a hot, dense core contracting under the force of gravity | 2 sets | |
| 23 | what will our sun become after a planetary nebula? | 2 sets | |
| 24 | a dim star that forms froma collapsed red giant | 2 sets | |
| 25 | a red giant at the end stage of its evolution will throw off mass and leave behind a very small (the size of the earth), very dense star in which no nuclear reactions take place. it is very hot but its small size gives it a very low luminosity. | 2 sets | |
| 26 | star's core is exhausted of helium;its outer layers escape into space leaving only the core; core gets smaller | 2 sets | |
| 27 | an old very dense star | 2 sets | |
| 28 | a small hot white star found in th lower left of the hr diagram. | 2 sets | |
| 29 | a star near the end of its life | 2 sets | |
| 30 | blue-white core of the star that is left cools and becomes a white dwarf | 2 sets | |
| 31 | the smallest type of star | 2 sets | |
| 32 | small star close to end of life | 1 set | |
| 33 | kjl | 1 set | |
| 34 | a is a small, hot, dim star that is the leftover center of an old star. | 1 set | |
| 35 | a very dense, very bright star of about the same mass as the sun but only about a hundredth of its diameter. | 1 set | |
| 36 | the final stage of a main sequence star | 1 set | |
| 37 | formed when the nuclear reactions cease and the centre of a star collapses | 1 set | |
| 38 | the star in the center of the nova continues to collapse. it becomes a hot, dense, white star called this. | 1 set | |
| 39 | a low-mass stellar remnant that has exhausted all its thermonuclear fuel and contracted to a size roughly equal to that of the earth | 1 set | |
| 40 | a small, hot dim star that is the leftover center of an old star | 1 set | |
