How long stars live depends primarily on their mass. Low mass stars live longer.
A yellow dwarf star like the Sun has an expected lifetime of about 10 billion years on the main sequence, followed by a "red giant" phase that is considerably shorter, followed by a "white dwarf" (Type VII) phase lasting a very, very, very long time before the star eventually cools to the point it no longer emits light in the visible range, becoming a "black dwarf".
Low-mass red dwarfs (below, say, 0.25 stellar masses) could conceivably live trillions of years. We don't really know exactly what will happen to them or how long they will live, because the universe itself is only about 14 billion years old, not nearly long enough for any red dwarfs to have died.

What are different sizes or stars?
dwarf stars,giant stars,main sequence stars
What are red dwarfs and how long do they live?
A red dwarf is a small old star :)
What is a small hot star that is near the end of its life called?
There are small hot stars - White dwarfs, neutron stars but by furtue that they are hot, means they are not near the end of their lives. It takes a long long time for all the residual heat to escape into the Universe. So, there are NO hot stars near the end of it's life.
What are the names of red dwarf stars?
There are billions of red dwarf stars. I will name just one and it's the nearest star (apart from the Sun). That red dwarf star is the famous "Proxima Centauri".
The majority of stars in our galaxy are?
Yellow dwarf stars like our own sun.
What do stars do in their lifetime?
they live for a long time as regular sized stars then eventually they turn into red giants and explode then turning into a white dwarf
How long do dwarf live for?
They can live nearly or as long as other people.
What are Most stars are stars?
Red Dwarf stars. Massive stars are also quite common, but stars like that (e.g. R136a1) don't last very long.
Have absolute magnitudes of ones or less?
dwarf stars -Sydney-
Are dwarf stars black holes?
no, dwarf stars don't have enough mass
Most stars are what kind of stars?
Red Dwarf stars. Massive stars are also quite common, but stars like that (e.g. R136a1) don't last very long.
Want happens when Red dwarf stars die?
Red dwarf stars have such long lifetimes that none of them ever have yet. Presumably, they will eventually go through the white dwarf phase before cooling entirely and becoming "black dwarfs".
Is dwarf stars also known as failed stars?
No, not all dwarf stars are failed stars. Only brown dwarfs are called "failed stars".
How long do black dwarf stars live for?
it depends on the conditions it could last as little as 100 years or up to 1 million years oh and are you sure you are talking about a brown dwarf because i do not think those exist but i don't know
How many stars are there in a dwarf planet?
None. No planet or dwarf planet contains stars.
Do dwarf hamsters live as long as golden hamster?
no
Are there dwarf stars other than red and white like maybe blue?
Yes there are a few more [See related link for more information].--- Main sequence stars -----Red dwarf Yellow dwarfBlue dwarf (hypothetical)--- Degenerate stars --------White dwarf Black dwarf (hypothetical)--- Sub stellar stars -------Brown dwarf.
