How big and small can a star be?

Stars can range in size from tiny neutron stars that are only a few kilometers in diameter to supergiant stars that can be hundreds of times larger than our sun. The smallest stars are about 80 times the mass of Jupiter, while the largest stars can have masses that are over 100 times that of our sun.


Why is there an upper mass limit for main-sequence stars of about 100 solar masses?

The upper mass limit for main-sequence stars is around 100 solar masses because the intense radiation and stellar winds in massive stars lead to mass loss through stellar winds and prevent the star from accreting enough material to exceed this limit. Additionally, stars with masses above 100 solar masses would generate such strong radiation pressure that it would overcome the force of gravity, preventing the formation of stable stars with higher masses.


What has mass of 3.4 solar masses?

6.76294 × 1030kilograms is 3.4 solar masses. Also you can find out any solar mass if you just type the solar mass on google.


What object is the largest?

If you mean in the solar system, then the answer is the sun. Jupiter and Saturn are also some big masses in the solar system. In the galaxy, the largest object is probably the black hole in the center.


Why is there a lower mass limit of 0.08 solar-masses for main-sequence stars?

Below about 0.08 solar masses an object will not be able to ignite nuclear fusion. There may be small amounts of deuterium fusion, but it is not sustainable. Objects between 0.08 solar masses and about 13 Jupiter masses are called brown dwarfs.

How big is the alpha centauri?

Alpha Centauri has a mass of 1.1 solar masses.


How big is the stars in your galaxy?

Our galaxy, the milky way, has stars much bigger than our sun. Our sun is considered one solar mass in it's size. The Milky Way has star that range from 1/2 a solar mass to 50 or 100 solar masses.


How big is the event horizon of a 100-solar-mass black hole?

The event horizon of a 100-solar-mass black hole is about 295 kilometers in radius. It represents the point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.


How far from a black hole's event horizon would you have to be to experience the equivalent of Earth's gravity?

That would depend on the mass of the black hole. Here are some values: 3 solar masses: 3.96 million miles 30 solar masses: 12.5 million miles 1000 solar masses: 72.3 million miles 1 million solar masses: 2.23 billion miles 4 million solar masses: 4.57 billion miles 100 million solar masses: 22.7 billion miles 1 billion solar masses: Within the event horizon


How big is 0.123 solar masses in diameter?

It is not necessarily any size, as 0.123 solar masses is a measure of mass rather than size. The size of an object of a given mass can vary depending on the object's density.


Why is there an upper mass limit for main-sequence stars of about 100 solar masses?

The upper mass limit for main-sequence stars is around 100 solar masses because the intense radiation and stellar winds in massive stars lead to mass loss through stellar winds and prevent the star from accreting enough material to exceed this limit. Additionally, stars with masses above 100 solar masses would generate such strong radiation pressure that it would overcome the force of gravity, preventing the formation of stable stars with higher masses.
