There are several types of stars based on their size, temperature, and stage of life. Some common types include red giants, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. These stars differ in characteristics such as mass, brightness, and lifespan.

What is the explosion of a dying giant or supergiant star?

There are several different kinds. An explosion ON a star is usually called a "nova" (from the Latin for "new", because this results in the star brightening significantly, thus appearing to be a "new star"). The star itself usually survives, and the cycle will probably repeat several times. The explosion OF a very large star is called a "supernova", and again there are different kinds. Stars generally either do not survive this, or survive only in very changed form (as a neutron star or black hole).


What do the color and lines in the spectrum of a star indicate?

By looking at the lines in a star's spectrum of light, astronomers can tell what kinds of elements the star is made of. This happens because when a beam of light hits an atom or molecule, that atom absorbs a characteristic wavelength (color) of visible light. Scientists have made a huge list of different elements and the different patterns of lines observed in theirj corresponding "spectra" (fancy word for light spectrums), and by using such lists can deduce precisely what each star is made of.


Is the sun a large star?

Compared to other stars' in our known Universe, The Sun(Sol) Is actually a quite small star. That has been to our advantage. Small star: Long life. Long life - more chance of life developing on a planet or planets in that solar system. Large, blue-white stars frequently have a lifetime of ten to twenty million years, start to finish. It is extremely doubtful that any life of even the simplest kinds could have developed on a planet in only that amount of time, as we understand the conditions that bring about life.


What type of star is dschubba?

Dschubba is a binary star system with two stars: a blue star and a white dwarf star. The blue star is the primary star and the white dwarf is the secondary star.


Which kinds of stars are most common in a newly formed star cluster?

In a newly formed star cluster, low-mass stars like red dwarfs are the most common. These stars are more abundant than more massive stars like giants or supergiants. The cluster will typically have a range of stellar masses, but low-mass stars dominate in numbers.
