"Intermediate mass" might be about the size of our Sun, perhaps a bit larger or smaller. I don't think the term is clearly defined. If you refer to the diameter, well, our Sun has a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers; but once it runs out of hydrogen, it will become several times larger. Similarly, for any other mass, the diameter of a star can vary, within a fairly large range, depending mainly on where the star is in its life cycle.

Can the sun turn into a neutron star?
No. The Sun is of fairly ordinary mass, and isn't NEARLY big enough to undergo a supernova explosion that would collapse the core to neutron star density. In fact, the minimum mass for a star that will die that way is about 3 times the mass of the Sun.
What do you call a dead star caves in itself due to its very big mass?
black hole
Is the sun a lower mass star or a higher mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star on the main sequence.
Can a star with a mass 10 times greater that of the sun produce a supernova?
Yes. Good thing that our Sun isn't that big!
What is the size of the star Merak in the Big Dipper?
Its mass is 2.7 times that of our sun whil its radius is 3.02 times as large.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass sequence star?
The sun is an intermediate-mass star.
Why does red gaints stars form?

If an intermediate-mass star begins to expand and decreases in temperature to around 3000 K what stage is the star most likely entering?
Maturity or post main-sequence.
Where is the intermediate mass?
Intermediate mass is refers to a type of connective mass. This connecting mass typically connects two lobes in nervous tissue.
What determins how long a star lives?
It's luminosity,motion and mass.
What is the intermediate mass a part of?

How big and small can a star be?
A mass of a star can be anything between 0.1 solar masses to 100 solar masses.
When an intermediate mass star enters the red giant stage of its life cycle what cause the star to give off a red glow?
As the star balloons into the red giant phase, its surface becomes further away from the core and cools. This changes the color appearance of the star from orange or blue to red.
Can the sun turn into a neutron star?
No. The Sun is of fairly ordinary mass, and isn't NEARLY big enough to undergo a supernova explosion that would collapse the core to neutron star density. In fact, the minimum mass for a star that will die that way is about 3 times the mass of the Sun.
Is the Rigel star a high mass star or a low mass star?
High mass.
