Massive stars get hotter, burn their fuel faster, and therefore live shorter.With respect to their "death": Stars of "normal" mass become white dwarves; more massive stars become neutron stars, and the most massive stars become black holes.
What matters is the mass at the end of its life. To a great extent, this depends on the initial mass, but the star may get additional mass, especially from a neighboring star in a close binary system; or it may shed a lot of mass during its lifetime.
The mass tells where thestar will end up as.
At the end - but that's mainly determined by its initial mass.
It's fate is determined by its initial mass since that determines the manner in which it "lives".
No, how a star dies is determined by its mass.
binary star systems
Yes.
In order for a star to form, gas from an interstellar cloud has to be gravitationally attracted toward a center of gravity. The strength of the gravitational attraction depends upon the amount of mass (and its density, which of course increases as the star is in the process of being formed). It takes a certain amount of mass to create a star, otherwise all you will have is an interstellar gas cloud.
The balance between pressure caused by heat and gravity caused by the star's mass.
No, how a star dies is determined by its mass.
Binary stars are ideal to determine the mass of the components.
They weigh each star with a scale
binary star systems
True.
Yes.
The colour of the star is determined by its age , mass , and composition.

The star's mass determines the temperature in its core. A stars mass will also determined it size and the amount of gravitational pull it will have.
A star is the equilibrium of the outward force a continuous fusion explosion versus the inward force of the gravity of its huge mass.
Ultimately the mass a star has at the end of its life depends on its initial mass. This mass determines what stages a star will go through in its death throws.
