Stars are powered by nucliar fussion. There is minimum pressure and temperature requirement in order to start the process. So to became Star the object has to have enought mass to increase its internal temperature and pressure.

Do low mass and medium mass stars eventually become neutron stars?
Low and medium sized stars will end up as white dwarfs.
Do high mass stars or low mass stars have a faster rate of burning?
Higher mass stars "burn" faster due to the increased pressure in the core.
What color do elliptical galaxies tend to be and why?
Elliptical galaxies have an abundance of low mass stars or red dwarfs.
Why is there an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars?
There is an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars because if the neutron star is too massive, neutrons would be crushed by the gravity of the neutron star, and the neutron star would collapse into a black hole.
Is there a limit for the stars?
Yes, there are limits for stars - limits to lower and upper mass, longevity, size, etc. Given the mass of the universe a limit for the number of extant stars would also exist. During stellar collapse at end of a star's life there are some well-studied limits answering to degeneracy pressure, like the Chandresekhar limit, the Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit, etc., which prevent further collapse until a certain mass limit is exceeded (perhaps the last limit being quark degeneracy pressure before further collapse into a black hole). For further examination of a given limit, the limit in question would need to be identified.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star?
There are more low mass stars. this is for two reasons:- # the star forming process generates more low mass stars # High mass stars burn out very quickly and explode as supernovas and thus over time there are less and less of them.
How do the numbers of low-mass stars compare with those of higher-mass stars in new star clusters?
In a newly formed star cluster stars with low masses must greaty out number stars with high masses. High mass stars are rare and low mass stars are extremely common.
What do high mass stars and low mass stars have in common?
They produce light.
Do low mass and medium mass stars eventually become neutron stars?
Low and medium sized stars will end up as white dwarfs.
Low-mass and medium-mass stars eventually?
Low and medium sized stars will end up as white dwarfs.
What are both high mass and low mass adult stars classified as?
Main Sequence Stars
Do high mass stars or low mass stars have a faster rate of burning?
Higher mass stars "burn" faster due to the increased pressure in the core.
What do the remains of a low mass star form?
Low-mass stars are expected to become white dwarves.
What happens to low-mass and medium-mass stars when they run out of fuel?
What actually happens to the types of stars is that the low mass will turn into a white dwarf and the medium mass will turn into a black dwarf and reproduce a nebula
What are remnants of low mass stars?
White dwarf
Are white dwarf stars a low mass star?
A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
What happens to low to medium mass stars when they run out of fuel?
What actually happens to the types of stars is that the low mass will turn into a white dwarf and the medium mass will turn into a black dwarf and reproduce a nebula
