Where does a star spend most of its lifetime on an h r diagram?
MAIN-SEQUENCE The average star spends 90% of its life as a hydrogen burning MS star.
Will a star spend most of its life as a protostar?
No, it will spend most of it's life as a main sequence star.
Why do stars cluster around the main sequence?
Because that's stage (while fusing hydrogen to form helium) when stars spend most of their time. Stars are red giants for much shorter times. So naturally we tend to find them on the H-R diagram where they spend most of their time.
What is the main predictor of where a star will spend most of the time on the main sequence and why?
The star's mass. More mass will make the star hotter, and will increase the pressure in the center; this will make the star burn its fuel faster.When a star is on the "main sequence", it burns hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.
Why do red dwarf stars spend the longest time in the main sequence?
There are two reasons why red dwarf stars spend the longest time in the main sequence. First, due to lower internal pressure and temperature, red dwarfs consume their fuel much more slowly than larger stars. Second, unlike other stars, red dwarfs are fully convective, which means they are not just limited to the hydrogen in their cores.
Where does a star spend most of its life on an hr diagram?
On the main sequence.
What state do stars spend most of their life cycle?
The main sequence.
How does the main-sequence lifetime of a star compare to its entire fusion lifetime?
Stars spend about 90% of their fusion lifetimes on the main sequence.
Stars spend most of their life span as giants?
main sequence stars
Where does a star spend most of its lifetime on the h-r diagram?
On the main sequence.
What is the meaning of the money is burning a hole in your pocket?
it means that you are spending alot of moneyWhen money "burns a hole in my pocket" it means I have discretionary cash and I am eager to spend it. We say "I have ten dollars burning a hole in my pocket" to mean " I have ten bucks I can't wait to spend!"It means that you have money to spend and you are ready to spend it.
How old is the sun and what stage is it in?
The Main Sequence. Stars spend about 90% of their lives in the main sequence, where they fuse hydrogen atoms into helium, through the process of nuclear fusion, to produce energy.
