no the sun is a medium mass star.
What else can I help you with?
Is the sun a high mass star?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
Is a supergiant star high mass or low?
High, typically 10 to 70 times (or more) the mass of our own sun.
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.
Is the Altair star high mass?
Altair is classified as an A-type main-sequence star, which means it is relatively high-mass compared to other stars like the Sun. Its mass is estimated to be about 1.8 times that of the Sun.
Is eltanin a low or high mass star?
The mass of Gamma Draconis (Eltanin) is listed in Wikipedia as 1.7 times the mass of our Sun. That is a fairly high mass (even our Sun is in the top 10 percentile, according to mass), although much more massive stars do exist.
Why is the sun's gravitational factor so high?
Because the sun is so immense. Gravity is a function of mass, and more than 95% of the mass of the entire solar system is in the sun.
What is the range of star mases for high mass stars?
Between about 8 and 100 times the mass of the Sun.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass sequence star?
The sun is a low mass sequence star. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, which means it is in the middle of its stellar evolution and will remain stable for billions of years.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star?
There are more low mass stars. this is for two reasons:- # the star forming process generates more low mass stars # High mass stars burn out very quickly and explode as supernovas and thus over time there are less and less of them.
What creates high pressure and temperature within the Sun?
The high pressure within the sun is the result of the sun's very large mass, and resulting strong gravitational field. The high temperature is the result of nuclear fusion.
Is a Vega Star high mass or low mass?
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 vega a low medium or high mass star?
