12 billion years
Once the gases start to coalesce and produce heat and light from friction, rather fusion (This is called a Proto-Star). That generally lasts about 150,000 years then nuclear fusion starts and a true star is formed.
It depends on the size of the star forming. For a one solar-mass star it lasts about 1,000,000 years.
There is no such thing as a typical star
Oliver Small you are a star
infinite years
Vega will be the north star in about 12,000 years time.
A neutron star is smaller, but has a greater mass. A typical white dwarf is about the size of a terrestrial planet. A typical neutron star is a few miles across.
With a star the size of our sun it takes 10 million years till it is at its middle life period. This period lasts for another 10 billion years. For a star the size of our sun its lifespan is around 10 010 000 000 years Our sun is at its midlife period, and has about 5 billion years to go.
Our sun "Sol" is a typical yellow dwarf (type G V) star. Apart from the fact that its third planet is the only known source of life in the universe, it is a rather small but otherwise typical star.
Beacause it is the biggest star in our universe
It is estimated that a star like the Sun may last about 15 to 20 billion years, although less than half of that in its current active form. About halfway through its lifespan, a typical yellow star will begin to expand into a red giant. Ultimately, it will form a dwarf star. Stars last anywhere from about a million years to several trillion years. It depends on the star's mass; higher-mass stars live for less time. Once a star becomes a white dwarf, or a neutron star, it no longer supports fusion. But it will remain at a very high temperature (thousands of kelvins) for many billions of years.
no but it will be in many years
