Why would one star have a greater luminosity than another?
The luminosity of a star depends greatly on the star's mass. A more massive star has a larger pressure and temperature in its core; as a result, nuclear fusion will proceed at a faster rate.
Which object in your solar system is more than 700 times more massive than the eight planets combined?
The most massive object in most solar systems is the sun, which is the central star. Since stars differ in mass, and each star has something different orbiting it, most stars will be larger or smaller than 700x the mass of the bodies orbiting them. In the solar system of which Earth is a part, there are 18 planets, which all orbit the star Sol.
Is the more massive star in a binary system always farthest from the center of mass?
"Each star in a binary system moves in its own orbit around the system's center of mass, the balance point of the system. If one star is more massive than its companion, then the massive star is closer to the center of mass and travels in a smaller orbit, while the lower mass star whips around in a larger orbit." ASTRO text book 2012.
Most known extrasolar planets are more massive than Jupiter because?
Current detection methods are more sensitive to larger planets
Is the color at the star related to its size?
Generally, yes. For stars on the main sequence, meaning that they fuse hydrogen at their cores, mass, size, color, brightness, and temperature are all closely related. More massive stars are larger, brighter and hotter than less massive ones. The least massive stars are red. As you go to more massive stars color changes to orange, then yellow, then white, and finally to blue for the most massive stars.
How large does a star need to be to end its life as a nuetron star?
More than 8 times as massive as our Sun.
Is a blue white star more masive than the sun?
All blue or white stars are more massive than our Sun
What factor determines how a star lives?
I assume you mean, "how long a star lives". That depends mainly on the star's mass, with more massive stars using up their fuel way faster than less massive ones.
Are the stars more massive than the sun?
Some are but most are not. The sun is a star that is above the average mass.
How big is the planet sun?
The Sun is not a planet, it is a Star. It is 332,946 times more massive than the Earth.
What stage in the life of a star ten times more massive than the sun is missing in this chart?
redgiant
Why is a galaxy more likely to collide with another galaxy that a star with another star?
Because there way bigger than the star
If a star is more massive than your sun what colour will it look?
They could be Blue Giants, or Red Giants, or Red Supergiants.
For planets of similar size but with one planet more massive than the other which planet is more likely to maintain an atmosphere explain?
there hobos!
How long does it take for the north star orbit around the sun?
The North Star does not orbit the sun, nor do any of the stars. The North Star is its own star system several times more massive than the sun.
Older men were much more likely than older women to be married?

Why is massive star more luminious than a less massive star?
This fact can explain with the help of nuclear fusion in small stars and massive stars in small stars like our sun nuclear fusion followed by the proton -proton chain reaction in which main products are positron, gamma ray photon, neutrino and isotopes of hydrogen and helium and energy released in millions of electron volts but in the case of massive stars nuclear fusion is followed by the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle and helium can further transform into the carbon by triple alpha process and in the massive star much heavier elements can burn producing very large amount of energy than our sun and some of the massive star can produce luminosity 60000 times more than our sun
