What characteristic determines the life cycle of a star?
mass
What forces are opposing one another throughout the life of a star how do they influence the various stages in life cycle of a star?
The two opposing forces are gravity, pulling the star in and the outward force from the ongoing nuclear fusion reactions. As the star approaches the end of it's life, changes in the reactions occur, which cause the forces to balance out in different ways, changing the size of the star.
Where does a supernova fit into a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
Which stage comes first in the life cycle of a high-mass star?
Protostar!
How does the life cycle of a star differ between one that is born from a large nebula as opposed to one born in a very large nebula?
None at all/ The life cycle of a star is based on it's initial mass, not where it was formed.
How can you describe the life cycle of a star?
size and diameter
What property of star determine the stages it will go through during its life cycle?
The size of the star
How does a stars mass affect its life cycle?
The more massive a star is, the less its life time.
How do you know if a star is at a different stage in its life cycle?
You can tell by its size and/or color.
What is the life cycle of the star capella?
What is capella star life cycle
The life cycle path followed by a star is determined by the stars initial?
Mass and size
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
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.
How long does the protostar star life cycle stage last?
It depends on the size of the star forming. For a one solar-mass star it lasts about 1,000,000 years.
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.
What is a star and how are they classified?
A star is a large, naturally occurring fusion reactor. Stars are classified by size, content, heat, and position within life cycle.
