What controls the color of a star?
The color of a star depends on its surface temperature. But hot stars are blue, and medium-hot stars are white, and cool stars are red.
What is the process by which stars burn brightly?

How many seconds do stars burn?
The length of time a star burns depends on its temperature and mass. It's certainly not possible to calculate this to the level of precision of seconds, and it's difficult to do so to the level of precision of millennia.
What is the Star made almost entirely of?
It really depends on the star. But most stars consist mainly of hydrogen-1.
How can a stars spectrum be different from another stars spectrum?
The differences in spectrum are mainly due to: * Differences in temperature between the stars * Differences in chemical composition * Differences in relative movement (redshift / blueshift, due to the Doppler effect)
How do you measure stars with scientific notation?
It depends on what you want to measure: their numbers, distance, mass, temperature, ...
