What star is like the sun?
It's obvious that if you know the mass of a star, you'll know its mass. But you'll also be able to look into the future life of that star and make and educated guess as to how long it may live and how its life may end. Larger stars generally go through their fuel supply more rapidly and end up self-destructing in a supernova. Smaller stars burn their fuel more slowly and live a longer, and relatively more "quiet" life, and end up "burning out" and cooling to a "cinder" of some kind. There are a number of related questions and links below for the interested investigator to follow in order to gather more information.
