Massive stars evolve the fastest.
Massive stars must supply more energy to prevent collapse under their own gravity. This energy is supplied by the nuclear reactions in the core of the star. more massive stars need to burn their nuclear fuel at a much greater rate than smaller stars in order to produce enough energy to balance their much greater gravity. Therefore, massive stars will burn their fuel faster and quicker evolve from their position on the main sequence

Why is the solar system extreme?
I don't understand what you mean by extreme. A few facts of space science, will stop you from calling our solar system extreme. Our sun is an average star by all standards, size and temperature. A star's color will always give you a hint of its temperature. Our sun is an orange star. White stars are hotter and blue stars are very very hot stars. There are billions of them. It terms of size , our solar system is much smaller than the average solar systems in the cosmos. How then can our Solar System be extreme?. Its not! Joseph Githaiga Muchoki
Are stars moons?
No. Stars are their own class of of objects. In simple terms planets orbit stars and moons orbit planets.
Why do planets appear brighter than stars?
Because they're very close to the sun and thus reflect a lot of the sunlight. It also helps that they are very close to us in terms of the other stars in the sky.
Are the stars living or non-living?
Although life-related terms are sometimes applied to stars, they are nonliving.
What do the terms luminosity and magnitude mean in describing stars?

Does Saturn have any stars other than the Sun?
Saturn is part of our solar system, in which the sun is the only star. In terms of the stars seen at night; they are the same stars seen in the night sky of Earth.
Are there a hundered stars in the solar system?
If you mean within our own solar system, then the answer would be no; there is only one star in our solar system (the sun). Other solar systems can have more than one sun (or star) at it's centre, and are known as either binary stars (when there are two), triple stars (when there are three), etc., or simply as multiple star systems (when there are more than three).In terms of the number of stars within our own galaxy (the Milky Way galaxy), there is estimated to be anywhere from 100-400 billion stars.

What is the difference between the terms solar and lunar?
solar has to do with the sun.lunar has to do with the moon.
What is diadokinesis in medical terms?
Diadokinesia is rapidly alternating movements.
Is a solar nebula larger than a neutron star?
Yes, a solar nebula is much larger than a neutron star. In terms of objects in space, neutron stars are tiny; only a few miles across. A stellar nebula such as the one that formed the sun is light years across.
What is SOHO in scientific terms?
SOlar Heliospheric Observatory
What is the contribution of wind and solar power in absolute terms in the electricity generation?
Wind generation currently produces about 2.5% of Global electricity output. Not sure of exact figure for solar, but probably around 1%, so maybe 3.5% of Global electricity output is generated by solar and wind combined-note this is increasing rapidly due to the rapid deployment of these technologies, especially in places such as China who are heavily investing in them.
What are features to include about how big is a galaxy?
how many stars there are in the galaxy its size in light years its mass in terms of our sun[ like 100.000.000.000 solar masses]how big is its super massive black hole in the center and its mass

In terms of solar radiation what is the best explanation as to why winter is cold?
there is a reduction in the amount of direct solar energy received
