This fact can explain with the help of nuclear fusion in small stars and massive stars
in small stars like our sun nuclear fusion followed by the proton -proton chain reaction in which main products are positron, gamma ray photon, neutrino and isotopes of hydrogen and helium and energy released in millions of electron volts but in the case of massive stars nuclear fusion is followed by the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle and helium can further transform into the carbon by triple alpha process and in the massive star much heavier elements can burn producing very large amount of energy than our sun and some of the massive star can produce luminosity 60000 times more than our sun
What else can I help you with?
How does a stars mass affect its life cycle?
The more massive a star is, the less its life time.
What factor determines how a star lives?
I assume you mean, "how long a star lives". That depends mainly on the star's mass, with more massive stars using up their fuel way faster than less massive ones.
Why are less massive star thought to age more slowly than more massive star even though less massive stars have much less fuel?
Less massive stars age more slowly than more massive stars primarily because they burn their nuclear fuel at a much slower rate. While massive stars have more fuel, they also have higher core temperatures and pressures, leading to rapid fusion processes that exhaust their fuel quickly. In contrast, less massive stars, like red dwarfs, fuse hydrogen slowly and can maintain stable fusion for billions of years, resulting in a longer lifespan overall. Thus, their slower consumption of fuel contributes to their extended lifetimes compared to their more massive counterparts.
What is the combining of less massive elements on a star?
Nuclear fusion.
What causes a planet to become a star?
A planet cannot become a star. A star is an object that is massive enough to release energy via nuclear fusion. A planet is much less massive.
What is the relationship between mass to its color for a star?
The color of a star is related to its temperature. More massive stars are typically hotter and appear bluer, while less massive stars are cooler and appear redder. This relationship is described by Wien's law, which states that hotter objects emit more blue light and cooler objects emit more red light.
In Binary Stars the initially less massive Star can die first?
Yes they can
Can a star less massive then the sun become a supernova?
No, stars less massive than the Sun do not have enough mass to undergo a supernova explosion. Instead, they may end their lives as a white dwarf or, if they are even less massive, a planetary nebula. Supernovae are events associated with more massive stars.
The faster-moving star in a binary is?
A binary star is two stars which orbit their mutual center of mass. The more massive star will move more slowly, while the lighter star will move more quickly.
How do you calculate life span of a star?
The life span of a star is determined by its mass. More massive stars burn through their fuel faster and have shorter life spans, while less massive stars have longer life spans. The life span of a star can be estimated using the mass-luminosity relation and the star's initial mass.
Which would probavly generate more light a star that burns hydrogen quickly or a star that burns hydrogen slowly?
A star that burns hydrogen quickly would typically generate more light than a star that burns hydrogen slowly. This is because a faster-burning star, usually more massive, undergoes nuclear fusion at a higher rate, producing greater energy output and luminosity. In contrast, a slower-burning star, often less massive, has a lower rate of fusion and thus emits less light. Therefore, the rate of hydrogen consumption directly influences the star's brightness.
What forms massive stars?
Stars are made mostly from hydrogen. The more hydrogen available when a star is formed, the more massive it will be.
