What characteristic determines the life cycle of a star?
mass
What property determines a stars life cycle?
The life cycle of a star is determined primarily by its mass. The hotter a star the bluer its color. The difference between apparent brightness and luminosity is that luminosity is a good indicator of the energy output of a star.
Is the sun different than a star?
No. It is a typical star of the main sequence for its mass. The composition and mass of each star determines its color, size, and life cycle.
What is the life cycle of the star capella?
What is capella star life cycle
Where is the earth on the star life cycle?
The "star life cycle" refers to stars. Earth is not a star.
What is a good science fair title dealing with star life cycle?
Life Cycle of a Star
Will a protostar form near the end of a star's life cycle?
No, a protostar is basically the BEGINNING of a star's life cycle.
How does the life cycle of a star compare to the life cycle of a human?
Stars go through stages like birth, main sequence, red giant, and death, which can last millions or billions of years. In comparison, humans have a much shorter life cycle, typically living for decades. Both stars and humans undergo changes over time and eventually cease to exist.
The third stage in the life cycle of a star?
what is the third stage of the star cycle
What characteristic determines if a star will end its life as a black hole or neutron star?
The mass of the star.
What two factors determine the life cycle path of a star?
the main sequence
What determines how a star ends its life?
The mass of a star determines how it ends its life cycle. Less massive stars become white dwarfs, shedding their outer layers as glowing shells of ionized gas (planetary nebulae). Stars 10+ times more massive than the Sun can be rendered as supernovae, as their cores collapse into black holes.
