Our sun is a star, and it helps us by giving us light and energy. There would be no life on Earth with out the sun. We do not depend on other stars for light and energy, but the other stars help inspire us with wonder about the vastness of the universe. Everything on Earth is made of atoms that were created billions of years ago in stars that are now dead. So, we are made of "star stuff".

well in everyday life stars can hep navigate sailors out at sea and they can indicate the time of year it is. Also they give us star signs, and can be used as entertainment to those who enjoy stargazing.Stars can help boost confidence after someone has passed away we can know they are flying amongst the and also children love stories about stars.

Probably they are not directly relevant to us... But it is known that many stars have planets, and some of those planets mayhave life. This hasn't been confirmed yet, but if they do, for them their star is extremely important.

You. The very matter than forms your body.

Seriously. Without stars, you wouldn't exist. After the Big Bang, the ONLY matter that scientists believe existed was hydrogen, a little helium, and perhaps a VERY little bit of lithium, the simplest elements. No carbon, or nitrogen, or oxygen, the very stuff of life.

But stars formed, and fused the hydrogen into helium, and in dying in supernova explosions, created all of the heavier atoms; iron, magnesium, uranium, gold, lead; every atom more massive than carbon was created in the heart of the supernova explosion.

The fact that our Earth is made of iron and silicon and uranium ale gold - every atom of our Earth once existed in the heart of a star.

The mass determines its gravitational pull and its life length.

Because the study of stars tells us where we came from, you are made of the dust from ancient stars which exploded in the past.

What makes a star's mass the most important parameter for predicting its future evolution?

If a star has more mass, there will be more gravitational attraction. The star's material will get closer together, and the star will have more temperature and more pressure.

Its mass.


Is the Rigel star a high mass star or a low mass star?

High mass.


What is the most important factor of controlling the evolution of a star?

The total mass. That will determine the life cycle of the star, the nature of its death and of the remnants after its death.

What determines how a star will live and die?

Its initial mass. There are other factors (e.g. whether the star is in orbit around another star) but mass is by far the most important. Generally low mass stars live long unexciting lives, whilst high mass stars live short lives and experience violent stages in their evolution such as supernovae and the swelling into red giants.
