What else can I help you with?
Are main sequence stars older than red giants?
No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.
Do different types of stars burn different fuel?
Yes, young stars burn Hydrogen and produce Helium. As they age, they often turn into red giants, and at that time they burn the Helium, making Oxygen and Carbon. Very large stars can even burn the Oxygen and Carbon, making even heaver elements, such as Iron.
Why do the big stars shine brighter than the smaller stars?
The big stars have more hydrogen to burn and has much more surface area thats why it shines brighter.
Is it true stars like the sun burn hydrogen producing helium?
All stars fuse hydrogen into helium - the slight difference in atomic weight between 4 hydrogen atoms and one helium atom, is given off as radiation.
What are the most common types of stars in our universe?
Main-sequence stars; those are stars that are in a certain area in the H-R diagram. They are also the stars which burn (fuse) hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.
What stars burn up hydrogen?
All main sequence stars fuse hydrogen.
What are star made out of?
Stars are mainly made out of hydrogen, they use it to burn.
Stars primaily burn what element as fuel?
Hydrogen.

Which gas makes stars burn for kids?
Hydrogen is the primary fuel that stars burn. A star fuses two hydrogen atoms together to form one helium atom. Energy is released during the process that we see as light and feel as heat.
Why do some stars survive longer than others?
Because larger stars burn their hydrogen faster than smaller ones.
What does a star primarily burn in its lifetime?
Most stars, for most of their existence, fuse hydrogen into helium.
Why do the big stars shine brighter than the smaller stars?
The big stars have more hydrogen to burn and has much more surface area thats why it shines brighter.
Is it true stars like the sun burn hydrogen producing helium?
All stars fuse hydrogen into helium - the slight difference in atomic weight between 4 hydrogen atoms and one helium atom, is given off as radiation.
What fuel is in young stars?
Young stars burn hydrogen (the lightest element), converting it into helium. Later they may convert helium into heavier elements.
Why don't high-mass stars live longer?
Massive stars have much greater pressure on their cores, causing them to burn hydrogen (the fuel) more quickly.
