Large mass starts are blue (when they are young) or Red (when they get old).

What is the star Capella's size?
Capella has four parts: Two large stars (Aa and Ab) and two faint red dwarf stars. The combined mass of the two larger stars is 5.25 in solar mass and 21.4 in solar diameter.
What do high mass stars and low mass stars have in common?
They produce light.
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 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?
Main Sequence Stars
What are the different colors of all the stars?
Stars can range from blue to red depending on temperature and mass, with yellow stars in the middle and white stars on the back end of the spectrum.
What form do old stars take?
The fate of an old star depends on its mass. Small stars will burn, essentially, forever. Medium mass stars like our Sun will eventually expand into a red giant, and collapse into a white dwarf. Very large stars will explode as supernova stars; these end up as neutron stars or if their initial mass is large enough, as black holes.
How big are low medium and large mass stars?
CARTER Payne
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.
Which kind of pressure prevents stars of extremely large mass from forming?
Radiation pressure.
Why are neutron stars so heavy?
Neutron stars are so heavy because they are the compact core of a star that is 8 time the mass of our Sun. The most massive neutron stars possible are 3 times the mass of our Sun.
What is the star Capella's size?
Capella has four parts: Two large stars (Aa and Ab) and two faint red dwarf stars. The combined mass of the two larger stars is 5.25 in solar mass and 21.4 in solar diameter.
How is a stars life?
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.
What makes stars colors different?
A star's color is determined by its surface temperature. This temperature is largely dependent on the star's initial mass.
Why the sun is not the hottest star?
It's mass is not as large as some other stars, there was not as much hydrogen available in the local area when the solar system was formed. Stars with a higher mass have higher temperatures and pressures.
What is the difference between the sun's mass and other star's mass?
Because there are many more small stars than large ones, our Sun turns out to be larger than about 60% of all other stars.
What is a celestial object intermediate in mass between small known stars and large planets?
A brown dwarf.
