It varies considerably, but supergiant blue-white stars are probably short-lived - they are almost runaway engines for converting hydrogen to helium, and they burn through their supply at a fast clip. They are something analogous to a very powerful automobile engine that is always run at top speed on the track. That engine isn't going to last 200,000 miles. The very hot supergiants end their lives as supernovas - the most cataclysmic force known in nature. "Average-average" stars (like our sun) live about 8 billion years. Our sun is about halfway through it's life right now.
What else can I help you with?
How big and small can a star be?
Stars can range in size from tiny neutron stars that are only a few kilometers in diameter to supergiant stars that can be hundreds of times larger than our sun. The smallest stars are about 80 times the mass of Jupiter, while the largest stars can have masses that are over 100 times that of our sun.
What type of stars end their life as a supernova?
Massive stars that are at least eight times more massive than the Sun end their life as a supernova. During the explosion, these stars release a tremendous amount of energy and can briefly outshine an entire galaxy.
Are stars very big?
Yes, stars are very big. They are massive, luminous spheres of plasma held together by their own gravity. The size of stars can range from smaller ones like red dwarfs, which are only a fraction of the size of our sun, to supergiants which can be hundreds of times larger.
Average life span of a star?
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.
What type of stars end their life in supernovae?
Massive stars, typically around eight times the mass of our sun, will end their life in a supernova explosion. During the explosion, the outer layers of the star are expelled into space, leaving behind a dense core known as a neutron star or black hole.
Almost all-stars fall under a mass range of?
Most stars fall within a mass range of approximately 0.1 to 100 times the mass of our Sun. This range includes most of the stars in the universe, from low-mass stars like red dwarfs to high-mass stars like blue giants.
What is the range of star mases for high mass stars?
Between about 8 and 100 times the mass of the Sun.
How big and small can a star be?
Stars can range in size from tiny neutron stars that are only a few kilometers in diameter to supergiant stars that can be hundreds of times larger than our sun. The smallest stars are about 80 times the mass of Jupiter, while the largest stars can have masses that are over 100 times that of our sun.
What type of stars end their life as a supernova?
Massive stars that are at least eight times more massive than the Sun end their life as a supernova. During the explosion, these stars release a tremendous amount of energy and can briefly outshine an entire galaxy.
Did firestar die nine times?
Not yet. he will lose his final life in the last book of Omen of the Stars.
Are stars very big?
Yes, stars are very big. They are massive, luminous spheres of plasma held together by their own gravity. The size of stars can range from smaller ones like red dwarfs, which are only a fraction of the size of our sun, to supergiants which can be hundreds of times larger.
Which stellar properties has the greatest range in values?
The mass of stars has the greatest range in values, ranging from less than 0.08 times the mass of the Sun for brown dwarfs to tens of times the mass of the Sun for supermassive stars. This variation in mass influences many other stellar properties, such as size, luminosity, and lifespan.
Are all stars identical?
No, not all stars are identical. Stars vary in size, mass, temperature, luminosity, and chemical composition, leading to different classifications such as main-sequence stars, giants, and white dwarfs. Their life cycles also differ based on these characteristics, resulting in a diverse range of stellar phenomena in the universe.
Average life span of a star?
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.

Massive stars, typically around eight times the mass of our sun, will end their life in a supernova explosion. During the explosion, the outer layers of the star are expelled into space, leaving behind a dense core known as a neutron star or black hole.
Why there is no life on stars?
Because stars temperatures range from 11,000* Fahrenheit to 27,000,000* Fahrenheit depending on what part of the sun you are talking about. This is unsuitable for life as we know it to exist. To give the number 11,000* some more understanding, that is around 5 times hotter than most kinds of lava/magma (rock so hot it is in liquid form) on earth.
Do stars have life?
No; stars are not, to the best of our knowledge, "alive".
