The stars that have the longest lifetimes are the smaller, cooler stars - red dwarfs. They are just about massive enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen fuel, but consume fuel at a very low rate. They could last for hundreds of billions of years before they exhaust their fuel.

How does the main-sequence lifetime of a star compare to its entire fusion lifetime?

The main-sequence lifetime is a phase in a star's life when it fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. This phase typically lasts about 90% of a star's total fusion lifetime. After the main sequence, a star may continue to fuse other elements, depending on its mass, which will determine the total duration of its fusion lifetime.


How long does an massive star live?

The lifetime of a star varies a lot, depending on its exact mass. The lifetime of a star can be anywhere from just a few million years for the most massive stars, to trillions of years for red dwarves.


Is the main sequence lifetime of a low mass star the same as the lifetime of the sun?

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.
