In case of low-mass stars,the outer layers of the low mass stars are expelled as the core collapses such that the outer layers form a planetary nebula.
Explanation:
In case of low-mass stars,the outer layers of the low mass stars are expelled as the core collapses such that the outer layers form a planetary nebula. The core remains as a white dwarf and finally become a black dwarf as it cools down. A low mass star consumes its core hydrogen and turns it into helium over its lifetime.
