Mass and weight are the same thing.

*Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the measurement of matter within the object and weight is the force applied to the object from gravity. So, to answer your question a star would have much more mass than weight because there is very little gravity affecting the Sun.

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?

A star with half the mass of the sun would live longer as it burns its fuel at a slower rate due to lower internal pressure and temperature. The more massive star would burn through its fuel more quickly and have a shorter lifespan.


What is 65.1 kilogram in weight?

65.1 kg is a measure of mass. The weight of an object with mass 65.1 kg will depend upon the force of gravity at the point where it is weighed. For example, on the moon it will weigh about a sixth as much as it would on earth, whereas on a neutron star it would weigh much much more.


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.


How does a star with half the mass of the sun meet its end?

A star with half the mass of the sun would likely end its life by shedding its outer layers to form a planetary nebula and eventually becoming a white dwarf. It would not have enough mass to undergo a supernova explosion or form a neutron star or black hole.


What is the weight of star?

Stars do not have weight they have mass. Our Sun is said to be one solar mass or 1.98892×1030 kg. There are stars smaller than our Sun (read dwarfs) which can be down to 0.075 solar masses and stars much much bigger than the Sun (Hypergiants) which can reach 80-150 solar masses.


How would an increase in mass affect the basic properties of a star?

An increase in mass would lead to an increase in the temperature and pressure at the core of the star, leading to a faster rate of nuclear fusion reactions and a brighter luminosity. It would also affect the star's lifespan, as higher mass stars burn out more quickly than lower mass stars. Additionally, higher mass stars are more likely to end their life cycles in supernova explosions.


Is it possible to make Jupiter a star if you applied more mass to it?

No, Jupiter does not have enough mass to become a star. It is a gas giant planet made primarily of hydrogen and helium, but it would need at least 80 times its current mass to ignite nuclear fusion and become a star like our Sun.


How long does the process of dying take for a star like our SUN?

That would depend on the size (mass) of the star. Please be more precise with your question for us to answer it.


What is heavier a star or a planet?

A star has more mass than a planet.


If the mass of the star were doubled what effect would this have on the gravitational attraction between the star and its planet?

Doubling the mass of the star would increase the gravitational attraction between the star and its planet. The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of their masses, so doubling the mass of the star would double the gravitational force between them.


If the mass of the star were doubledwhat effect would this have on the gravitional attraction between the star and planet?

It would make the gravity of the star have more power.As for your question, it all depends.If the planet was bigger than the star, the star would be pulled in gravatationally(if that's even a word).If the star were bigger than the planet, the planet would be pulled in.


What determines the evolution of a star?

The mass of a star affects the lifespan of the star. The less the mass, the longer life span of the star. More massive stars burn up their fuel more quickly than the smaller stars. As the massive stars begin to burn the fuel and become smaller, the life span increases.
