What is the main factor that effects the evolution of a star?
The mass of the star affects the evolution of the star. It helps to determine how long evolution will take and what kinds of changes will happen.
What factor affects the luminosity of a star?
the size of a star
What is the most important factor in determining the path a star takes when it leaves the main sequence?
The main factor is its mass.
What is the main factor that shapes the life and death of a star?
The main factor that shapes the life and death of a star is its mass. The more massive the star, the faster it burns through its fuel and the faster it evolves. The mass of a star determines its temperature, luminosity, and eventual fate, such as whether it will end as a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.
What factor affects the absolute brightness of a star?
Energy output, as absolute brightness (magnitude) is taken at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.
Which two factors determine the characteristics of a star?
The two main factors that determine the characteristics of a star are its mass and its age. The mass of a star determines its temperature, size, luminosity, and lifespan. A star's age affects its stage in its life cycle, such as whether it is a young, main-sequence star or an older red giant.
Is the size of a star the only factor that setermines its absolute magnitude?
No. I assume you mean the star's diameter. The area is proportional to the square of the area - so the bigger the star, the brighter it will be - other things being equal. However, the star's surface temperature also affects its brightness.
What affects how big a star appears to be?
A star distance from earth
What determines the evolution of a star?
The mass of a star affects the lifespan of the star. The less the mass, the longer life span of the star. More massive stars burn up their fuel more quickly than the smaller stars. As the massive stars begin to burn the fuel and become smaller, the life span increases.
What inevitably forces a star like the Sun to evolve away from being a main sequence star?
The main factor that causes a star like the Sun to evolve away from being a main sequence star is the depletion of hydrogen fuel in its core. As the hydrogen fuel is used up, the core contracts and heats up, leading to the outward expansion of the star's outer layers. This expansion and change in structure lead the star to evolve into a red giant.
Which religion is the star of David for?
The star of David is a factor in Judaism.
Which factor does not affect the apparent brightness of a star?
How old a star is.
