Do giant stars live longer or do smaller stars live longer?
No, big stars die out in a few million years whereas little stars may take billions or even trillions of years to die. This is because big stars use all of their energy up very quickly because they need to use lots of energy to keep them alive.
The longest living stars are those of?
The bigger and brighter a star is, the faster it uses up its nuclear fuel and either explodes or becomes a red giant. A star that starts out as a red giant, like Betelgeuse, will only last for perhaps 10 or 15 million years. The Sun, by example, is already 4.5 billion years old, and we expect it to last as long still. The smaller a star is, the longer it will last. The red dwarf and even smaller brown dwarf stars will probably continue almost unchanged for a trillion years, or until the universe ends.
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
A star's lifetime depends on what?
It depends on its size. Smaller stars- main-sequence, red giant, planetary nebula, white dwarf, black dwarf Bigger stars- main-squence, red giant, supernova, neutron star.
What does the nebula look like As the matter collapses and what does it do?
the nebula starts getting smaller, smaller and smaller and slowly dis a pears it then explodes and gives nutrients to the stars around it.
Which star lives longer giant stars or small stars?
Small stars live longer
Which star lives longer smaller or bigger?
Smaller stars last longer.

Which star is live longer gaint star or smaller star?
The smaller stars
What is true about stars?
The smaller a star is, the longer its life cycle.
What stars have the longer life span?
The smaller stars generally live longer due to less mass & less hydrogen is burned.

Which is bigger the planet or the star?
On the whole stars are much larger than planets, but there are some dwarf stars that are smaller than giant planets.
Do blue giant stars have a much longer life than the sun?
No. They have a much shorter duration.

What is the main way the stars differ?
Primarily in mass. Smaller stars are smaller and dimmer, and live longer; more massive stars are bigger, LOTS brighter, and die sooner. A small star - or even an average star like our Sun - will last for billions of years. A giant star like Betelgeuse or Sirius will go supernova and blow itself apart in only a few million years.
Why do some stars survive longer than others?
Because larger stars burn their hydrogen faster than smaller ones.
