A star's life can extend for as long as trillions of years. Maturity follows the stable stage of most stars.

Which stars produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle?
Stars that produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle are predominantly those with a mass about 1.3 times the mass of our Sun or greater.Our Sun, and stars comparable in mass or less, predominantly use the proton-proton cycle.
Why are neutron stars so heavy?
Neutron stars are so heavy because they are the compact core of a star that is 8 time the mass of our Sun. The most massive neutron stars possible are 3 times the mass of our Sun.
Why are stars considered to contain most of the visible mass of the universe?
Because stars are the one thing that you can see over great distances.
What is the approximate luminosity of a main-sequence star whose mass is one-tenth that of the Sun?
There's no single answer, since luminosity depends not only of mass but stage and temperature. However, most 0.1 Solar mass stars are going to be red dwarfs, so consider Wolf 359, a nearby star, as an example. It's about 0.09 Solar mass and its luminosity varies from about 0.0009 to 0.0011.
What type of star ages faster?
The most massive stars; they will use up their fuel much faster than less-massive stars. or even low mass star which is less then half the mass of our sun may able to last more then a trillion years that is longer then the universe age
What is the most important factor in determining a stars life cycle?
The most important factor is the stars mass.
What is the final life cycle stage of the most massive stars?
rrrrr
How old is the embryo at the stage when it is gaining most mass in a month?
0.5 mass (g)
Which stars produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle?
Stars that produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle are predominantly those with a mass about 1.3 times the mass of our Sun or greater.Our Sun, and stars comparable in mass or less, predominantly use the proton-proton cycle.
How big are most stars?
Most stars are red dwarfs which range from half the mass of the Sun, down to about 0.075 solar masses.
How do you study the mass of stars?
There are several ways to do this; the most accurate, as far as I know, is in the case of double stars. In that case, from the orbit of one of the stars, the mass of the other one can be determined quite accurately.
Does smaller mass stars have a greater luminosity than larger mass stars?
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.
Why are neutron stars so heavy?
Neutron stars are so heavy because they are the compact core of a star that is 8 time the mass of our Sun. The most massive neutron stars possible are 3 times the mass of our Sun.
What stage of life do kids loose most of their teeth?
They lose their milk teeth during childhood.
What dose the lifetime of a star depend on?
Mainly its mass. The most massive stars develop the most quickly.
Why are stars considered to contain most of the visible mass of the universe?
Because stars are the one thing that you can see over great distances.
Why do stars not become red giants?
Most medium mass stars such as our Sun DO become red giants. Smaller stars do not have enough mass to initiate helium fusion when the hydrogen supply begins to run low, and do not become red giants.
