The size (diameter) of a star can change over its lifetime; sometimes within hours.What really matters is the star's MASS.
The most massive stars will produce a lot of radiation, and thus use up their fuel very quickly. After that:
Stars up to about 1.4 solar masses will end up as white dwarves.
Above that, stars up to somewhere between 2 and 3 solar masses will end up as neutron stars.
Above that, stars end up as black holes.
The "mass" refers to whatever mass remains once the star uses up its fuel. For instance, a supernova explosion may remove a large part of the star's mass. Likewise, massive stars may lose a lot of mass during their lifetime, through their stellar wind.
No. There are others far larger and brighter. Just happens to be the closest.
A star cluster is a cluster of stars, so clearly a star cluster must be larger.
Supernova happens when a star that is at least 3 times larger than our sun dies, it will be crush by its own gravity. Then boom, supernova. Then the star acts like a sponge, it will get bigger. That star is not a star anymore, it is a black hole.
The Pistol Star.
The sun is a star. Some stars are larger than our sun while others are smaller.
A red star can be more luminous than a bluish-white star if it is larger in size and/or hotter in temperature. The luminosity of a star is determined by its size and temperature, with larger and hotter stars emitting more energy. Therefore, a red star that is larger and hotter than a bluish-white star can be more luminous.
A galaxy is larger by far.
A star is MUCH larger than a moon.
a lot larger
Yes, a nebula is far larger than a neutron star. A neutron star is a few miles across. A nebula is light years across.
What happens?! DARTH VADER HAPPENS!
a supernova
