The lowest mass stars are the red dwarfs, which have a mass of less that half that of our own sun, down to a mass of only 7.5% of our suns mass. So our sun is between 2 - 13 times more massive. Red dwarf temperatures and brightnesses are a lot lower, but they burn fuel much more slowly so have much longer lifetimes.
It starts off in a stellar nursery nebula, where some gas slowly condenses until the pressure is enough to raise the temperature high enough to start hydrogen fusion. It then starts the main sequence when the core fuses hydrogen in to helium but the star can't fuse the matter outside the core via convection because the gravity is too strong to let material out of the core. Many (usually >10) billions of years later, all of the hydrogen in the core has been fused into helium and because the temperature isn't high enough to fuse helium, fusion stops. The core then shrinks as there is a sudden lack of outward force from fusion to support its own gravity. As it shrinks, the temperature suddenly shoots upwards (from the increased pressure), and the hydrogen outside the core reaches fusion temperature from this. Being further away from the centre of gravity, the outer layers expand into a red giant star and are simply ejected into space from their momentum. This outer fusion then finally pushes the core past the fusion temperature of helium and it restarts fusion, this time into carbon. However, this time, the star is never able to reach the carbon fusion temperature and the core stays shrunken, slowly cooling. This is a white dwarf, which will truly die when it becomes a black dwarf after emitting all its remaining energy.
lool it up on a diffent website cuz this one doesnt have the flippin answer.
No. The sun is a medium-mass star.
Life Cycle of a Star
this is simple its used to describe the star sizes through a process that is complicated and people see this through the life cycle of a star as the minerals inside the star change over time
No, a protostar is basically the BEGINNING of a star's life cycle.
what is the third stage of the star cycle
Nebulae are associated with the end of a star's life cycle, as they are shells matter that blown off a star, usually in a series of events, when a star is in its death throws.
size and diameter
Life cycle of a sun like star. A sun like star will start out as a nebula to a protostar to a main sequence star to a red giant and into a white dwarf and will simply fade out.
What is capella star life cycle
The "star life cycle" refers to stars. Earth is not a star.

No, a protostar is basically the BEGINNING of a star's life cycle.
Stars go through stages like birth, main sequence, red giant, and death, which can last millions or billions of years. In comparison, humans have a much shorter life cycle, typically living for decades. Both stars and humans undergo changes over time and eventually cease to exist.

How does the life cycle of humans compare to the life cycle of a star? They both have stages where they are born and die which is in the main sequence and supernova and in a human they are born in a womb and die of old age.
