Among stars supporting progressive fusion reactions, the Sun is below average in size. However, astronomers estimate that as many as 75% of all stars in the visible universe are red dwarfs, which are considerably smaller than the Sun.
As it ages, the Sun will eventually lose luminosity but expand in size. Over billions of years, it will become a red giant star, and when that phase ends, its core will form a white dwarf.
What else can I help you with?
Why do the brightest stars in your sky appear so bright compared to other stars in your sky?
The brightest stars appear brighter because they are closer to Earth or intrinsically brighter due to their size, temperature, or luminosity compared to other stars. Their brightness makes them stand out more in the night sky.
How big is the sun compared to a star?
The sun is an average-sized star compared to other stars in the universe. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star and is larger than many other stars but smaller than some of the largest stars known.
How large is the sun compared to other SUNS?
The Sun is the name we give to the star that we orbit. About half the other stars are larger than the Sun, and about half are smaller. The Sun is average size.
How does the sun rank in terms of size and brightness in our galaxy?
The Sun is an average-sized star in terms of size compared to other stars in our galaxy. However, the Sun ranks as the brightest object in our Solar System since it is relatively close to Earth. In comparison to other stars in the Milky Way galaxy, there are much larger and brighter stars.
Is the sun the smallest star compared to others?
No. But the sun is one of the smaller types of star called 'yellow dwarf''. There are smaller and bigger stars also.
In size compared to other stars the mass of our sun is?
Our Sun is well above the median; probably somewhere around percentile 85 or 90, both with respect to mass and diameter. That means that 85% or 90% of the stars are smaller than our Sun.
How does the size of the sun compare to that of other stars?
The size of the sun is considered average compared to other stars. There are much larger stars, known as supergiants, and smaller stars, known as dwarfs, in the universe.
Is the sun an average star in terms of its size, temperature, and luminosity compared to other stars in the universe?
Yes, the sun is an average-sized star in terms of its size, temperature, and luminosity compared to other stars in the universe.
How does the size of the sun compare to that of other stars in the universe?
The size of the sun is considered average compared to other stars in the universe. There are much larger stars, known as supergiants, and much smaller stars, known as dwarfs. The sun falls in the middle range in terms of size among the billions of stars in the universe.
Why do the brightest stars in your sky appear so bright compared to other stars in your sky?
The brightest stars appear brighter because they are closer to Earth or intrinsically brighter due to their size, temperature, or luminosity compared to other stars. Their brightness makes them stand out more in the night sky.
What is the size of the stars compared to planets?
Most stars are bigger than any planet.
How big is the sun compared to a star?
The sun is an average-sized star compared to other stars in the universe. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star and is larger than many other stars but smaller than some of the largest stars known.
Why does the sun appear larger than other stars in the sky?
The sun appears larger than other stars in the sky because it is much closer to Earth than those stars. This proximity makes the sun's size and brightness more prominent in our view compared to the distant stars.
Compared to your sun how large are the largest stars?
our sun would be the size of Jupiter to the other suns because of their size, this is also a bad thing because they would 'die' soon too.=]
What is the size relation of Massachusetts compared to the other 50 states?
What is the size relation of Massachusetts compared to the other 50 states?
What is the size of Sun as compared to other stars of Milky way?
The Sun is considered an average-sized star compared to other stars in the Milky Way galaxy. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, also known as a yellow dwarf star. There are stars much larger and much smaller than the Sun in our galaxy.
What is unsual about the sun compared tho many other stars?
Nothing, really. The Sun is average in size, temperature, and density. Its an all around average star.
