Size of main sequence star?
A main sequence star is NOT a TYPE of star but a period in a stars evolution. Therefore all stars from the hottest to the coolest are on the main sequence at some stage - with the exception of brown dwarfs which do not reach the main sequence.
Are main sequence stars all alike in their luminosity and temperature?
No. Main sequence stars vary greatly in both temperature and luminosity. The least massive stars, red dwarfs, can have temperatures as low as 2,300 Kelvin and luminosity as low as 0.015% that of the sun. The most massive stars, which are blue in color can have temperatures as high as 50,000 Kelvin and may be hundreds of thousands times more luminous than the sun.
Why does weight vary throughout the solar system?
Due to the gravity force which vary according to the mass of each planet.
Why do all white dwarfs have about the same mass?
All white dwarfs do not have about the same mass. White dwarfs vary in mass because the stars they form from are not all the same mass.
Do stars vary greatly in size and color only.?
No. Stars vary in lots of aspects, including:* Diameter * Mass * Color (and the related surface temperature) * Chemical composition * Density (related to mass and diameter) * Brightness
What is the main sequence temperature?
The temperature of main sequence stars can vary quite a bit.

What is the difference between a neutron star and a main sequence star?
A main sequence star is what is considered a typical star. Such stars are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. They produce energy by fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. Main sequence stars vary greatly in mass and range from a few hundred thousand to a few million kilometers across. Our sun is a main sequence star of intermediate mass. A neutron star is the collapsed remnant of the core of a large star that was destroyed in a supernova explosion. A neutron star has a mass of about 2-3 times that of the sun compacted by gravity into an area less than 40 kilometers across, making it extremely dense. A neutron star is mostly composed of neutrons.
What is the difference between a main sequence and a red giant?
A main sequence star is a star that is not surprisingly on "the main sequence". This is the period when a star is fusing hydrogen into helium. Most stars you see in the night sky are main sequence stars.
How does the gravity of the planet venus vary with its mass?
No, because the mass of Venus does not vary.
What shows were the subject area of a main map is located?
The subject area of a main map can vary depending on the specific show. However, some common places where the main map may be located include the title sequence of a TV show, the intro sequence of an animated series, or as a featured element in a show that involves world exploration or travel.
How does the gravity of planet mercury vary with its mass?
Gravity is directly proportional to mass.
How does the gravity of a planet vary with the mass?
Objects have a gravitational pull proportional to their mass.
Does voltage vary with mass?
No, they are completely unrelated.
