In terms of solar mass which of the stars evolves most rapidly?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Massive stars, such as O-type and B-type stars, evolve more rapidly than lower mass stars like the Sun. These high-mass stars burn through their nuclear fuel at a faster rate due to their higher core temperatures, leading to shorter lifespans and more rapid evolution through various stages of stellar evolution.

Answer 3

The larger a star the faster it evolves and the sooner it dies. The largest stars known are the hypergiant class which have solar masses many hundreds and even thousands that of our own sun.
