How the lifetime of stars depend on their mass?
The larger a star the shorter the lifetime because, larger stars burn out more quickly.
Main sequence lifetime is determined by what?
The mass of the star. The bigger it is, the faster it will burn through its fuel supply.
Will the sun burn out in your lifetime?
It will burn out eventually, but that will be very far from now, not in our lifetime.
How does a star's mass indicate lifetime?
When a star is at the end of its lifetime its mass increases.
When will the sun cease to be as you know it?
Nothing that you will notice in your lifetime . In millions of years, the sun , being a star will first expand , burning up the earth and then reduce and burn out.
How is the lifetime of a star comparable to stellar evolution?
Stellar evolution is the term for the changes a star undergoes during its lifetime.
What is the difference between burn time and bulb lifetime in flashlights?
Burn time is time from power on to power off, but the lifetime is time from the first using to not available.
The lifetime of a star depends on its?
The life of a star depends on the amount of hydrogen a star has left. Simple answer the larger the star the shorter the life span for example: stars like our Sun can be expected to live 8-12 billion years a more massive star like Beetlegeuse can expect to live 100-400 million years and the most massive stars like S. Doradus and VY Canis Majoris can expect to live just a few million years. The larger the star the more fuel it consumes. Due to contrary belief not all stars burn hydrogen some stars burn helium others burn carbon some even burn oxygen this is all based off the core temperature the hotter the core the more elements it can burn
How does a stars mass indicate its lifetime?
When a star is at the end of its lifetime its mass increases.
What determines the path a star will take during its lifetime?
The mass of the star
How do stars in space burn out?
The chemicals (usually hydrogen and helium) that fuel the reactions in the star that creates heat and light have a finite lifetime. Our own sun is expected to only last for about another 6,000 years.
