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.
What is the main factor that effects the evolution of a star?
The mass of the star affects the evolution of the star. It helps to determine how long evolution will take and what kinds of changes will happen.
The mass of a star can be determined by studying?
binary star systems
Can A planet's mass can be determined by observing it transit a star?
Yes, a planet's mass can be determined by observing its transit across a star. By measuring the dip in the star's brightness during the transit, astronomers can calculate the size of the planet and its gravitational effect on the star, which provides information on the planet's mass.
If a star begins its evolution with ten times the mass of the sun but ends with two times the mass what object does it form?
It forms a "neutron star".
Which property of a star can be determined from binary star system?
The mass of a star can be determined from a binary star system, specifically by measuring the orbital motion and interaction between the two stars. This allows astronomers to apply Kepler's laws of planetary motion to calculate the masses of both stars in the system.
Which characteristic determines the color of a star?
The colour of the star is determined by its age , mass , and composition.
What are Endpoints of stellar evolution?
The endpoints of stellar evolution are: White Dwarf Neutron Star Black Hole The endpoint is dependent upon birth mass of the star.
Is the yellow star the youngest star?
Not necessarily. The color of a star does not directly correspond to its age. Stars can be yellow at different stages of their evolution, depending on factors such as their mass and composition. The age of a star is typically determined by factors like its location on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and its position in a star cluster.
If a star begins its evolution with 10 times the mass of the sun but ends with 2 times the mass of the sun what type of object does it form?
a neutron star
Which property of a star is most important in controlling its formation evolution and demise?
Its mass.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass sequence star?
The sun is a low mass sequence star. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, which means it is in the middle of its stellar evolution and will remain stable for billions of years.
