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.
The length of a stars life is determine by what?
By mass . The smaller the star the longer it shines. Stars that are 20 times the mass of the sun only last 10 million years or so but will be thousands of times brighter than our sun. Our sun will shine for 10 billion years (it is about half way through it's life). Small stars called red dwarfs less than a tenth of the suns mass may shine for a trillion years or more but will be less than 1/100 of our sun's brightness.
What is likely to happen to a molecular cloud core with a mass that is less than its Jeans Mass?
If a molecular cloud core has a mass less than its Jeans Mass, it is unlikely to collapse under gravity to form a star. The core may remain stable or disperse due to external factors such as turbulence or thermal pressure. A lower mass core may not have enough self-gravity to overcome these opposing forces and initiate star formation.
What is a main sequence star with less than 0.4 solar masses?
A main sequence star with less than 0.4 solar masses would be classified as a red dwarf star. These stars are the smallest and coolest main sequence stars, with longer lifespans compared to higher mass stars. They are the most common type of star in the universe.
What do you call a small cool red star?
A small, cool red star is typically referred to as a "red dwarf." Red dwarfs are the most common type of star in the universe, characterized by their low temperature and luminosity. They are classified as spectral type M and have a mass less than half that of the Sun. These stars can burn for billions of years, making them long-lived compared to larger stars.
Where would a star be located in the main sequence relative to the sun if it mass is less than half that of the sun?
ster does not relly easit
How do you know what star becomes when it dies?
You will know what a star becomes when it dies based off of its mass. If the mass of the star is less than, around, or slightly greater than the sun's mass, it will become a white dwarf. If the mass of the star is a few solar masses, a supernova will happen and a neutron star will be created. If the mass of the star is many times that of the sun, it will explode in a giant supernova called a hypernova and create a black hole.
What is a failed star in astronomical?
A brown dwarf. That is the name given to a star that has a little less mass than the minimum required to sustain fusion.
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.
When the star die what did it become?
During last ages of life of a star, to find what happens in coming ages of life of star. It determines on its mass explained by chandrashekher that if the mass of given star is 2.42 times the mass of our sun then it explodes in the form of supernova. If the mass of given star is less than the 2.42 times the mass of our sun then it shrinks to become white dwarf.
Which star is a remnant of a low mass star?
A white dwarf is a remnant of a low mass star. It is formed when a star with a mass less than 8 times that of the Sun exhausts its nuclear fuel and sheds its outer layers, leaving behind a hot, dense core.
What type of star ages faster?
The most massive stars; they will use up their fuel much faster than less-massive stars. or even low mass star which is less then half the mass of our sun may able to last more then a trillion years that is longer then the universe age
Is 0.21 more than a half or less than a half?
less
Can a neutron star become a nebula?
No, a neutron star can't become a nebula. A neutron star is not made of atomic matter, has less mass than a nebula, and has no mechanism by which to expand.
Why do less massive stars age less slowly than big stars?
The pressure and temperature in the core of a star varies, depending on the star's mass. And the energy production is highly dependent on the temperature.
What determines whether a very massive star will become a neutron?
Whether a star will become a neutron star is determined by its mass. Generally, stars that are more than 8 solar masses (have a mass that is more than 8 times that of our Sun), but are less than 15 solar masses will become neutron stars when they die.
What is a low-mass star?
A low mass star will burn very slowly for a very long time, maybe hundreds of billions of years at a cool red temperature. It will eventually run out of fuel, nuclear fusion will cease and it will contract to become a hotter White dwarf star, which will eventually become a black dwarf star as it cools.
