Large stars ending their life can undergo a supernova explosion, where the outer layers are ejected into space and the core collapses to form a neutron star or black hole. This explosive event releases a huge amount of energy, making supernovae some of the brightest events in the universe.
The average life span of a star depends on its mass. Low-mass stars, like our Sun, can live for about 10 billion years. Higher-mass stars have shorter life spans, burning through their fuel faster and living for only millions of years.
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.
One of the stars in the constellation Orion that is as large as the orbit of Saturn is Betelgeuse. It is a red supergiant star, nearing the end of its life, located in the shoulder of the Orion constellation. Betelgeuse is one of the largest stars known and its diameter is estimated to be around 1,000 times that of the Sun, extending out to about the orbit of Saturn.
A collective noun for a group of stars is a cluster of stars (small group) and a galaxy of stars (large group).
Large stars are distributed all over our galaxy, there is no single location for them.
Hard to explain. Usually stars get bigger if they grow. Very large stars have shorter life. A very big star can end it's life as a super nova or a black hole.

I am not aware of any specific element "signaling" this. Towards the end of a stars life, however, relatively large amounts of heavier elements are produced.
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.
A star's "life cycle" depends mostly on its initial mass; everything is determined by mass. Small, low-mass stars may shine essentially forever, while very large high-mass stars may grow old and go supernova in only a few dozen million years.

A star is a large, naturally occurring fusion reactor. Stars are classified by size, content, heat, and position within life cycle.
