Because there are many more small stars than large ones, our Sun turns out to be larger than about 60% of all other stars.

What is the difference between stars that become white dwarfs stars that become neutron stars and stars that become black holes?

The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.


What is it called when there is a sun that is a satellite to another sun?

That's called a binary star. Since the mass of the two stars is fairly similar (not nearly as much mass difference as between the Sun and Earth, for example), both are in orbit; it is more accurate to say that both stars move around the common center of mass.That's called a binary star.

What is the difference between mass and capacity?

I do not know the answer.The difference between mass and capacity is that capacity is how much something can hold and mass is the weight of an object.


What is the difference between atomic mass an molecular mass?

Atomic mass is defined for atoms. Molecular mass is defined for molecules or compounds. Atoms bond with each other to form compounds.


What is the mass of the different stars?

between 80 times the mass of Jupiter and 150 times the mass of the Sun.


What do red dwarf stars come from?

They form the same way other stars form. Gas and dust in a nebular region collapse due to some sort of instability and coalesces onto a dense, spherical region which, upon receiving sufficient mass, starts nuclear fusion in its core. The star is now born. The major difference between red dwarfs and more massive stars is just that, mass. Red dwarfs has less mass to work with during their formation, and were thus left less massive than other stars. In truth, red dwarf stars represent the vast majority of stars in The Galaxy. Think of the larger, more massive stars, as "lucky to have a lot more mass than most other stars".


What is the difference between earth and a star?

star is a huge mass of gas, where as earth is a planet


What is the difference between stars that become dwarf stars and stars that become neutron stars?

A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.


Binary stars can be used to calculate the of stars?

Double stars, also called binary stars, are valuable to astronomers because they are the only stars of which astronomers can easily calculate their mass. They are bound to each other by gravity and orbit about a common center. The time it takes for one star to orbit the other depends on the distance between the two stars and their masses.


Why do the isotopes of hydrogen have a greater ratio of mass difference than the ratios for any other isotopes of other elements?

The isotopes of hydrogen have a greater ratio of mass difference because hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass compared to other elements. Since the mass of hydrogen isotopes differs significantly (H-1, H-2, and H-3), the ratio of their mass difference is also relatively larger. This makes the difference in mass between hydrogen isotopes more pronounced compared to isotopes of other elements, which have higher atomic masses.


What is the range of star mases for high mass stars?

Between about 8 and 100 times the mass of the Sun.
