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 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.


How do the blue star differ from the red star?

Blue stars are hotter, larger, and more luminous than red stars. They have shorter lifespans due to their high energy output. Red stars are cooler, smaller, and less luminous, and they have longer lifespans.


How do the properties of long-lived stars compare to those of short-lived stars?

Long-lived stars are typically lower in mass, shine less brightly, and have longer lifespans compared to short-lived stars. Short-lived stars tend to be more massive, burn through their fuel more rapidly, and have shorter lifespans before evolving or ending in a supernova explosion.


The color of a star is an indication of its what?

The color of a star is an indication of its temperature. The hotter the star, the bluer it appears, while cooler stars tend to appear more red. This relationship is described by Wien's Law in astrophysics.


Are stars older than the sun?

Many are, yes, but as stars go, the sun (a type K star) will have a relatively long life - about 10 billion years. It is roughly half-way through it's life now. Smaller red stars can have even longer lives. The giant blue-white stars tend to have the shortest lives, some lasting 100 million years or less (very, very short-lived).
