No. Saturn is a planet, not a star. To the naked eye, it LOOKS like a star, but planets are actually quite different from stars.

Is vega a low medium or high mass star?
Vega has about 2.1 times the mass of the Sun. That's a fairly large mass; but you'll have to choose where you set the limit between "medium-mass" and "high-mass"! It is definitely not "low-mass"; in general, low-mass stars, i.e. red dwarves, can't be seen with the naked eye, even if they are in our immediate neighborhood. (The very closest star after the Sun is Proxima Centauri, and it can't be seen with the naked eye.) The main definition of a high mass star is a star that can eventually explode as a supernova. For that the star needs to be around at least 8 times the Sun's mass. I would say Vega is best thought of as "medium mass".
Is a white dwarf bigger than a main sequence?
No. A white dwarf is the collapsed remnant of the core of a low to medium mass star. It has a mass comparable to that of a star, but is about the size of a small planet.
What does each star explode into?
The life of a high mass star goes like this: A nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a high-mass protostar the protostar ages into high-mass, very hot star that hot star explodes into a supergiant, which proceeds to explode into a supernova the supernova then shrinks into a neutron star or a black hole the life of a low- or medium-mass star goes like this: a nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a low-mass protostar the protostar ages into a low- or medium- mass,cool star the star explodes into a red giant, the red giant explodes into a planetary nebula the nebula shrinks into a white dwarf, which then dims into a black dwarf i hope i was able to answer your question.
What is the smallest type of star?
Saturn has the lowest density of all the planets in our Solar System. It has a density less than water, so it would actually float if you could find a big enough bath. There is a possibility, that there are planets less dense than Saturn outside of our Solar System, but we have yet to find any.
What is the wieght of Saturn?
Mass of saturn = 5.68 * 1026 kg > about 95 times mass of earth
Is the sun a high mass star?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
Is the sun a lower mass star or a higher mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star on the main sequence.
Is the sun a high mass?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
How does a blue star become a yellow star?
It can't. A blue star is a high-mass star. A yellow star has a medium mass.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
What remains after a low-mass or medium-mass star dies?
white dwarf
Is Sirius a medium mass star?
Yes, Sirius is about twice as massive as our sun, making it a medium mass star. It is quite a bit brighter, however, and is the second brightest star in our sky.
Are white dwarf stars a low mass star?
A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
What is the final state of a medium-mass star?
white dwarf
What is the final state of a medium mass star?
white dwarf
Is white dwarf a massive star?
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
Is sirius a medium star?
Yes, Sirius is about twice as massive as our sun, making it a medium mass star. It is quite a bit brighter, however, and is the second brightest star in our sky.
