Which stage comes first in the life cycle of a high-mass star?
Protostar!
The similarities of high-end low-mass stars?
The similarities of high-end low-mass stars include their ability to fuse hydrogen and helium at the same time, very short lifetimes, and being incredibly luminous.
What characteristic determines the life cycle of a star?
mass
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.
How does the life cycle of a star differ between one that is born from a large nebula as opposed to one born in a very large nebula?
None at all/ The life cycle of a star is based on it's initial mass, not where it was formed.
Which stage comes first in the life cycle of a high-mass star?
Protostar!
What is the life cycle of high mass?
A high-mass star will use up its fuel faster than a low-mass one. Depending on the amount of mass that remains at the end of its life, it may convert to a neutron star, or to a black hole.
What type of life cycle do stars with more mass have?
The more the mass the shorter their life cycle (the more quickly they use their fuel)
What determines the life cycle of a star?
its mass
Is a short life span high mass medium mass or low mass?
high mass has shortest life (stars right?)
The similarities of high-end low-mass stars?
The similarities of high-end low-mass stars include their ability to fuse hydrogen and helium at the same time, very short lifetimes, and being incredibly luminous.
What characteristic determines the life cycle of a star?
mass
How does a stars mass affect its life cycle?
The more massive a star is, the less its life time.
How is a stars life?
A star's "life cycle" depends mostly on its initial mass; everything is determined by mass. Small, low-mass stars may shine essentially forever, while very large high-mass stars may grow old and go supernova in only a few dozen million years.
What type of fussion occurs in a high mass star near the end stages of its life cycle?
In that case, the temperature is hot enough to create all known natural elements.
Is the end life of a planetary nebula a high mass or low mass star?
Low mass
How the life cycle of a low mass star differs from a life cycle of a high mass star?
The major difference is that a low-mass star lives much longer. The reason for this is that a high-mass star gets hotter, is much brighter, and uses up its fuel much faster. The difference can be quite dramatic, with some stars being millions of times brighter than others. Also, assuming the star doesn't acquire additional mass, a low-mass star will end up as a white dwarf, while more massive stars will end up as a neutron star, or in the case of the most massive stars, a black hole.
