What is the life expectancy of the cool red dwarf star?
It depends. The lower the mass of the star, the longer the lifespan. It is believed that the lifespan of these stars exceeds the expected 10 billion year lifespan of our Sun by the third or fourth power of the ratio of their masses to the solar mass, which means a red dwarf with 0.1 solar mass may continue burning for 10 trillion years
What the relationship between the size of star and its fate at the end of the star cycle?
The fate of a star depends not so much on its size (diameter), but on its mass.Low-mass stars (up to about 1.4 times the mass of our Sun) will become white dwarves. Above that, and the star will become a neutron star. Somewhere between 2-3 solar masses another limit is reached, where a neutron star isn't stable; instead, the star becomes a black hole. The masses mentioned refer to the mass that remains once the star runs out of energy.
Is the sun a lower mass star or a higher mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star on the main sequence.
What is the relationship between a black hole and a neutron star?
Think of a black hole like the neutron star's big brother. When a star reaches the end of its life, it blows off its outer layer in a supernova and leaves behind a stellar remnant. The mass of the star, during its life, determines what is left behind by its death. For relatively low mass stars (such as our own star), the remnant is a white dwarf. Get much larger than about 1.4 times our own star's mass and you end up with a neutron star. The exact upper mass limit for neutron star formation isn't known for certain, but the estimate is something between 2 and 3 times our own star's mass. Above that, and the remnant core collapses into a black hole.
Is juveline star a low mass star or a high mass star?
It may be either. Juvenile means young.
What is the relationship between mass and the lifespan of the star?
well it depends on how fat you are.

What factor determines the lifespan of a star?
MASS
What is a lifespan of a star?
Anywhere between a few millions and trillions of years, depending mainly on the star's mass.
What is the life expectancy of the cool red dwarf star?
It depends. The lower the mass of the star, the longer the lifespan.

What is the relationship between mass and the end stages of stars lives?
The more mass a star has the less time it has to live or "be a star." The less mass a star has the longer it has to live.
If a star is twice as massive as the sun how will its lifespan compare?
The life expectancy of a star (E) depends on its mass (M), roughly following the model of E = M-2.5. For a star with a mass twice that of our sun (enter 2 in place of `M`), then the lifespan will give 0.177. Our suns lifespan is around 10 billion years, so this would equate to 1.77 billion years.
What does the life span of a star depend on?
How massive it is and its luminosity (the mass and luminosity correlate with each other with most stars, mainly the main sequence stars). The more mass a star has, the shorter its lifespan.

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.
Does the stars mass have anything to do with the stars brightness?
the brightness of a star is dependant on its temperature and radius. however, while a star is burning hydrogen into helium (which all stars do for most of their lifespan and it's usually this kind of object we mean when we say "star") a correlation does exist between the mass of the star and its luminosity (brightness)
What is the relationship of a star's tempertature?
Relationship... with what? "Relationship" usually relates two variables, not just one. The star's temperature depends, to a great degree, on its mass - more massive stars tend to be hotter. However, for a single star, the temperature also changes over the lifetime of a star. Especially, when the star runs out of hydrogen fuel, it contracts and gets hotter.
