What do high mass stars and low mass stars have in common?
They produce light.
What is made when stars die?
There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.
What are both high mass and low mass adult stars classified as?
High mass adult stars are classified as supergiants or giants, while low mass adult stars are classified as main sequence stars. This classification is based on the mass of the star and where it falls on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star?
There are more low mass stars. this is for two reasons:- # the star forming process generates more low mass stars # High mass stars burn out very quickly and explode as supernovas and thus over time there are less and less of them.
What percent of stars are low mass medium mass and high mass?
We can't be sure, because low-mass stars are very dim, and we can't see them. They "live" darn near forever. We think there are very great number of them, but because we can hardly detect them, we can't be sure. In fact, the IAU recently tripled their estimate of the number of stars in the universe, because of the difficulty of seeing brown-dwarf stars. There are probably relatively few very high mass stars at any one time; high-mass stars burn very brightly, can be seen from very great distances, and die very early - and messy! - deaths, in supernova explosions. If I had to guess - and this is ONLY a guess! - I would guess that 85% of all stars are low mass, 1% or fewer are "high mass", and the remaining 14% are in that vague middle.
Do high mass stars or low mass stars have a faster rate of burning?
High mass stars have a faster rate of burning compared to low mass stars. This is because high mass stars have more gravitational pressure in their cores, leading to faster nuclear reactions and higher energy output. This results in a shorter lifespan for high mass stars compared to low mass stars.
What do high mass stars and low mass stars have in common?
They produce light.
What is made when stars die?
There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.
How do the numbers of low-mass stars compare with those of higher-mass stars in new star clusters?
In a newly formed star cluster stars with low masses must greaty out number stars with high masses. High mass stars are rare and low mass stars are extremely common.
What are both high mass and low mass adult stars classified as?
High mass adult stars are classified as supergiants or giants, while low mass adult stars are classified as main sequence stars. This classification is based on the mass of the star and where it falls on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
Is a short life span high mass medium mass or low mass?
high mass has shortest life (stars right?)
What kind of stars become black holes low mass or medium mass or high mass?
High-mass stars might become black holes, if the remaining matter (after the supernova explosion) is sufficiently large.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star?
There are more low mass stars. this is for two reasons:- # the star forming process generates more low mass stars # High mass stars burn out very quickly and explode as supernovas and thus over time there are less and less of them.
What makes a high-mass stars core collapse?
the high mass star's core collapse because its gravity
What color are high mass stars when they are formed?
Usually blue.
Do high mass stars and low mass stars evolve the same?
High mass stars and low mass stars evolve differently due to their distinct physical characteristics and life cycles. High mass stars undergo rapid fusion processes, leading to a brief lifespan and ending in supernova explosions, often forming neutron stars or black holes. In contrast, low mass stars evolve more slowly, transitioning through stages such as red giants and ending as white dwarfs after shedding their outer layers. These differences in evolution result from variations in temperature, pressure, and nuclear fusion rates within the stars.
Almost all-stars fall under a mass range of?
Most stars fall within a mass range of approximately 0.1 to 100 times the mass of our Sun. This range includes most of the stars in the universe, from low-mass stars like red dwarfs to high-mass stars like blue giants.
