What is the next stage in the life of a lower-mass main-sequence star?
white dwarf. unless you count black dwarf of which none have been observed, only theorized.
Which stage follows the red giant stage of star development if the star is a high-mass star?
White dwarf stage. Its shrinks to a lot extent in this stage. Edit: A high mass star is usually one that becomes a supergiant then a supernova. Eventually this should leave either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the star. The previous answer is for low mass stars.
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 is the maximum mass of a star?
The maximum mass of a star is the mass at which it would collapse to form a black hole, irregardless of the stage in its life cycle. It is thought that the centers of the galaxies did this.
Which stage comes first in the life cycle of a high-mass star?
Protostar!

What is a star called during its last stage?
There is no general name. How a star ends depends on its mass.
Which two factors determine the characteristics of a star?
Its mass and its stage of life

How does the mass of the lements that form inside of a star change based on the stage in its life cycle the star occupies?
it doesn't.......
How can you explain the Algol paradox?
In some binary systems, the less-massive star has become a giant, while the more-massive star is still on the main sequence. If higher-mass stars evolve faster than lower-mass stars, how do the lower-mass stars in such binaries manage to leave the main sequence first? This is called the Algol paradox, after the binary system Algol.
What two factors determine the characteristics of a star?
It's mass and it's stage of life.
Which stage comes first in the life cycle of a low mass star?
Formation of the star out of a giant cloud of gas and dust.
What will a high mass protostar turn into?
A protostar is the first building block of the main star. As it has not yet accumulated enough mass to join the main sequence, it will be smaller than the main star. The next stage will be a T Tauri star.
