a medium becomes it because a red giant then it explodes , a low only becomes a white dwarf and a massive becomes a supernova or a black hole
No. The less massive a star, the longer it will last. A main sequence star half the mass of the sun can be expected to last about 5 times longer.
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
Yes, Sirius is about twice as massive as our sun, making it a medium mass star. It is quite a bit brighter, however, and is the second brightest star in our sky.

The more massive the shorter - down to just millions of years.
It varies considerably. A star similar to our sun will last about 10 billion years. The least massive stars may last trillions of years wile the most massive may last only a few million.
A star with a mass of 2solar masses, 2times the mass of the sun, would have a main-sequence stage of half the life of a star with the mass of our sun. More massive stars die faster, less massive stars live longer and therefore have longer main-sequence stages.
Smaller stars last longer.
its not a massive or a dwarf star
A massive collapsed star is a dead star.
A star that is in it's teenage years(medium star) isn't a red giant until it's last years.
A 1.5-M star will fuse hydrogen in its core approximately 7 times longer than a 15-M star because less massive stars burn hydrogen at a slower rate due to their lower core temperatures and pressures. This means they have longer main-sequence lifetimes compared to more massive stars.
