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 are both high mass and low mass adult stars classified as?
Main Sequence Stars
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.
Is low and high mass stars indirect or inverse?

What percent of stars are low mass medium mass and high mass?
We can't be sure, because low-mass stars are very dim, and we can't see them. They "live" darn near forever. We think there are very great number of them, but because we can hardly detect them, we can't be sure. In fact, the IAU recently tripled their estimate of the number of stars in the universe, because of the difficulty of seeing brown-dwarf stars. There are probably relatively few very high mass stars at any one time; high-mass stars burn very brightly, can be seen from very great distances, and die very early - and messy! - deaths, in supernova explosions. If I had to guess - and this is ONLY a guess! - I would guess that 85% of all stars are low mass, 1% or fewer are "high mass", and the remaining 14% are in that vague middle.
How do the numbers of low-mass stars compare with those of higher-mass stars in new star clusters?
In a newly formed star cluster stars with low masses must greaty out number stars with high masses. High mass stars are rare and low mass stars are extremely common.

Is a short life span high mass medium mass or low mass?
high mass has shortest life (stars right?)
Do high mass stars or low mass stars have a faster rate of burning?
Higher mass stars "burn" faster due to the increased pressure in the core.
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.
Why are white dwarfs common?
White dwarfs are the remnants of dead low to medium mass stars, which is the mass range of the majority of stars.
What color do elliptical galaxies tend to be and why?
Elliptical galaxies have an abundance of low mass stars or red dwarfs.
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.
The similarities of high-end low-mass stars?
The similarities of high-end low-mass stars include their ability to fuse hydrogen and helium at the same time, very short lifetimes, and being incredibly luminous.
What is a low- meduim- mass star the becomes the end of its life?
White dwarf. High mass stars become neutron stars or black holes.
