larger stars have longer lives, because as stars burn they are slowly burning up fuel and begin to cave in on themselves. the larger, the more fuel, the more fuel, the longer lasting.

Which star lives longer giant stars or small stars?
Small stars live longer
Which star lives longer smaller or bigger?
Smaller stars last longer.
The length of a stars life cycle?
That would be its size. Bigger stars live shorter lives because they use up energy faster, while smaller stars live longer because they don't use up as much energy.
Do hot stars or cool stars tend to live longer?
The smaller a star the longer it lives. Smaller stars can live up to 200billion years, while a supergiant only lives about 10 billion years. Cooler stars live longer because they don't burn as much energy as a hotter star, while the larger the star, the shorter its lifespan
What factors determine how long a star lives?
the stars amount of mass
How long wiil the star give their light?
Stars live for various lengths of time mostly dependent on their size. Small stars live longer (up to many tens of billion years). Large stars live short lives (comparatively) only shining for a few hundred million or a billion years.
What fuel does a medium size star use?
All stars fuse hydrogen into helium. Near the end of their lives, large stars progress to fusing helium into carbon.
How many years does a star lives?
It depends on the size. Small, dim stars live much, much longer than large, bright ones. The expected lifetime of a star like the Sun as a main-sequence star is about 10 billion years.
What is the general size of a main sequence?
It can have many different sizes. Only the largest giants are no longer main sequence stars.
Who lives longer an allgator or a gorilla?
an allgator lives longer
What is the name for very faint very dense Earth size stars?
These are called white dwarf stars. They are the dense remnants (cores) of stars about the size of the Sun, which have used up all of their fusible elements and no longer maintain fusion in their cores. These stars still radiate energy because they are still hot, just not as hot as a functioning star.
Do smaller stars have longer lives?
If by smaller, you mean ones with less mass, then the answer is yes. This is because while smaller stars have less mass to burn. They burn it more slowly and more efficiently thereby increasing their lifespan.
