Best Answer

Massive stars have much greater pressure on their cores, causing them to burn hydrogen (the fuel) more quickly.

Small stars live longer


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


Do hot stars or cold stars live longer?

There is no such thing as a cold star, as even the lowest-temperature stars are very hot. That said, cooler stars last longer as they burn their fuel more slowly.

Do giant stars live longer or do smaller stars live longer?

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.


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 dimmer stars live longer lives?

Dimmer stars generally are just farther away. Their brightness isn't necessarily a factor in how long they live. Their color is actually a better indicator. Yellow stars, like our own sun, burn cooler, and are therefore using their fuel more slowly. This will cause them to live longer. Stars with a red color are burning much hotter, and will therefore use up their fuel more quickly. Blue or white colored stars are burning hotter still!


Which star would live longer a star that has half the mass of the sun or a star that has 2 times the mass of the mass?

Stars with less mass live much longer. Stars with greater mass get hotter, and have more pressure in their core; as a result, they use up their fuel much faster.
