Best Answer

Young stars burn hydrogen (the lightest element), converting it into helium. Later they may convert helium into heavier elements.

Where are the hottest brightest stars?

Hot bright stars do not live very long because they are big (have a lot of mass) and their core density means that they use up their fuel quickly and die young (in supernova explosions). This means you find the hottest brightest stars in star forming regions, stellar nurseries.


How can you tell blue stars are young?

The colour of a star tells you a lot about its temperature and mass. A red dwarf for instance has a low mass and is not very hot whilst blue stars tend to be very hot and quite large. In order for a star to be very hot it must be burning through its supply of fuel more quickly than a cooler star. The faster they burn through their fuel the faster they die and as a result the largest blue stars have a maximum lifetime of only a few million years. Compared with the age of our sun (a few billion years) blue stars are very young.
