Easily. Our sun is not a minimum standard, nor is it a benchmark on which all other stars are based (humans only measure arbitrarily from it).

Is the sun a low mass or high mass star?
There are more low mass stars. this is for two reasons:- # the star forming process generates more low mass stars # High mass stars burn out very quickly and explode as supernovas and thus over time there are less and less of them.
What are four properties of a planet?
It revolves around a star. It has its own clear orbit. It mass is less than 13 times that of Jupiter's mass.
What determines the evolution of a star?
The mass of a star affects the lifespan of the star. The less the mass, the longer life span of the star. More massive stars burn up their fuel more quickly than the smaller stars. As the massive stars begin to burn the fuel and become smaller, the life span increases.
The length of a stars life is determine by what?
By mass . The smaller the star the longer it shines. Stars that are 20 times the mass of the sun only last 10 million years or so but will be thousands of times brighter than our sun. Our sun will shine for 10 billion years (it is about half way through it's life). Small stars called red dwarfs less than a tenth of the suns mass may shine for a trillion years or more but will be less than 1/100 of our sun's brightness.
If you weigh less on the moon do you have less mass?
No, you have the same mass. The reason why you weigh less is because the moon has a less gravitational pull on you since it has less mass than the earth.
Where would a star be located in the main sequence relative to the sun if it mass is less than half that of the sun?
ster does not relly easit
What type of star ages faster?
The most massive stars; they will use up their fuel much faster than less-massive stars. or even low mass star which is less then half the mass of our sun may able to last more then a trillion years that is longer then the universe age

How do you know what star becomes when it dies?
You will know what a star becomes when it dies based off of its mass. If the mass of the star is less than, around, or slightly greater than the sun's mass, it will become a white dwarf. If the mass of the star is a few solar masses, a supernova will happen and a neutron star will be created. If the mass of the star is many times that of the sun, it will explode in a giant supernova called a hypernova and create a black hole.
How does a change in mass affect the movement of an object?
A change in mass would also change the level of density. If the level of mass in an object went down, it would make the object less dense. Anything that is less dense can move faster. Example: Think of someone cutting a pizza in half and keeping one half of it. A half pizza's mass is less than a whole pizza. You can move a half of a pizza easier than you can move a whole pizza, which is how it affects the movement.
What is a failed star in astronomical?
A brown dwarf. That is the name given to a star that has a little less mass than the minimum required to sustain fusion.
What are four properties of a planet?
It revolves around a star. It has its own clear orbit. It mass is less than 13 times that of Jupiter's mass.
When the star die what did it become?
During last ages of life of a star, to find what happens in coming ages of life of star. It determines on its mass explained by chandrashekher that if the mass of given star is 2.42 times the mass of our sun then it explodes in the form of supernova. If the mass of given star is less than the 2.42 times the mass of our sun then it shrinks to become white dwarf.
Can a neutron star become a nebula?
No, a neutron star can't become a nebula. A neutron star is not made of atomic matter, has less mass than a nebula, and has no mechanism by which to expand.
Why do less massive stars age less slowly than big stars?
The pressure and temperature in the core of a star varies, depending on the star's mass. And the energy production is highly dependent on the temperature.
Is 0.21 more than a half or less than a half?
less
What determines whether a very massive star will become a neutron?
Whether a star will become a neutron star is determined by its mass. Generally, stars that are more than 8 solar masses (have a mass that is more than 8 times that of our Sun), but are less than 15 solar masses will become neutron stars when they die.
