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.

∙ 15y agoThat will depend on the type of star. In some cases the small star would live longer. The reason being is that stars burn fuel (hydrogen), and the reactions prevent their compression by gravity. Larger stars run out of fuel faster then smaller stars, and have more mass to contend with. When the hydrogen and helium are exhausted, stars usually explode and collapse.

∙ 12y agoThey can both live the same amount of time, but bigger stars tend be a bit older than smaller ones. The bigger ones are farther into their life cycle. Like our sun, it won't explode into a supernova. It is much too small. So it will expand and expand, cooling off all the while. When it has expanded it will end up as a red giant or a super giant in the solar system. But bigger ones can last longer, due to exploding in a supernova, it takes much more time, rather than expanding.

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
Do all stars end their life cycle the same way?
No because smaller stars can live longer than bigger stars and the big stars wont live as long but will end in a very violent explosion.That can result in a major supernova and even a black hole smaller stars will die in a much less violent way.
Do blue hyper giant stars live the shortest?
Yes they do.
What star lives the longest?
There are many types of stars from giant stars hundreds of times larger than our sun to relatively small stars much smaller than ours. Each type has a different life cycle, but the type that lives the longest and is found most often is the red dwarf star.
Do blue or yellow stars live longer?
Blue Star- blue stars the super giants of the sky. they are much larger than yellow stars (about 3 times bigger) and hotter. Yellow Stars- yellow stars are a lot smaller and cooler an example is our sun. Therefore, because blue stars are hotter than yellow- they burn their nuclear fuel a lot faster and live for a shorter time.
Which star lives longer giant stars or small stars?
Small stars live longer
Which star is live longer gaint star or smaller star?
The smaller stars
What stars have the longer life span?
The smaller stars generally live longer due to less mass & less hydrogen is burned.
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
How is the sun different from giant star in the main sequence?
It's smaller and cooler. It will also live a lot longer than a blue giant.
Do all stars end their life cycle the same way?
No because smaller stars can live longer than bigger stars and the big stars wont live as long but will end in a very violent explosion.That can result in a major supernova and even a black hole smaller stars will die in a much less violent way.
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.
The length of a stars life cycle?
That would be its size. Bigger stars live shorter lives because they use up energy faster, while smaller stars live longer because they don't use up as much energy.
Do blue hyper giant stars live the shortest?
Yes they do.
How long does a blue giant live for?
All stars are different but a blue giant will only "live" for about a couple of million years. Our Sun will "live" for about 10 billion years.
How long does a blue giant live?

What is another difference between brittle stars and sea stars?
britle stars are small and live in coral reefs and are eaten by GIANT sea stars
