Can a star less massive then the sun become a supernova?
Any stars less massive than our sun do not explode in a supernova. They will slowly cool down and burn out forming an "ember" (a.k.a. white dwarf).
What will most massive stars form?
The most massive stars will form ultra large stars, which will collapse into black holes upon their demise.
What do stars too massive to form neutron stars what do they form?
A black hole.
What galaxies are massive blobs of stars?
All of them
What type of stars burn out faster?
Massive
There are about 200 billion of these in the milky way?
There are thought to be between 200 billion and 400 billion stars in our galaxy. So for every star, there could be several planets in orbit. This is just our galaxy though, there are then thought to be 100 billion galaxies or more, so total number of stars in the universe is massive.
What is the relationship with mass and the end stages of stars?
As stars burn, they shed matter, becoming less massive slowly throughout their life cycle. This reduction in mass necessarily lessens their gravity, causing the stars' diameter to increase. So, many end-stage stars will be huge and bloated. Massive red giant stars are examples of this.
What do the most massive stars end their life as?
The massive stars turn into gas
Can a star less massive then the sun become a supernova?
Any stars less massive than our sun do not explode in a supernova. They will slowly cool down and burn out forming an "ember" (a.k.a. white dwarf).
Do massive stars become neutron stars?
Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.
Why do less massive stars age less slowly than big stars?
The pressure and temperature in the core of a star varies, depending on the star's mass. And the energy production is highly dependent on the temperature.
What is a good opening sentence for a science paper on massive stars?
What I have learned about massive stars is...
How does the future of massive stars differ from the future of smaller stars?
Massive stars are most likely to explode faster than smaller stars.
Why do massive stars have shorter lives than others stars do?
Massive Stars Use Their Hydrogen Much Faster Than Stars Like The Sun Do.
Why mass is so important in determining the evolution of a star?
Hydrogen, helium, and carbon fuel are found in more massive stars. The diameter of more massive stars is bigger. Helium is found in greater abundance in more massive stars. The weight of more massive stars is greater.
What will most massive stars form?
The most massive stars will form ultra large stars, which will collapse into black holes upon their demise.
What type of stars end their life as a supernova?
Massive Stars.
