The more the mass the shorter their life cycle (the more quickly they use their fuel)
The more massive a star is, the less its life time.
This is not necessarily true. most of the time stars with a larger diameter have more mass but some stars with a smaller diameter are more dense and have a greater mass. Find a main sequence star chart and you can compare the data.
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.
Yes. The difference can be considerable; the full life cycle of a star several times the mass of the Sun might be but a few million years, while a red dwarf (a star with less mass than the Sun) can continue shining for trillions of years, in some cases (much more than the current age of the Universe).
The major difference is that a low-mass star lives much longer. The reason for this is that a high-mass star gets hotter, is much brighter, and uses up its fuel much faster. The difference can be quite dramatic, with some stars being millions of times brighter than others. Also, assuming the star doesn't acquire additional mass, a low-mass star will end up as a white dwarf, while more massive stars will end up as a neutron star, or in the case of the most massive stars, a black hole.

Different colors of stars can tells us the temperature of that star. It can also tell us the luminosity and mass of a star and where it is in its life cycle, whether it is a proto-star (new) or red super giant (dying high mass stars), or white dwarf (dying low mass stars).

Mass. Higher mass stars, while having more fuel to burn, counterintuitavely have shorter lifespans, as they are able to bring more of that mass to temperatures capable of supporting fusion.
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.
