Why mass is so important in determining the evolution of a star?
Hydrogen, helium, and carbon fuel are found in more massive stars. The diameter of more massive stars is bigger. Helium is found in greater abundance in more massive stars. The weight of more massive stars is greater.
What is the most important characteristic in determining the length of a stars life?
Mass. Higher mass stars, while having more fuel to burn, counterintuitavely have shorter lifespans, as they are able to bring more of that mass to temperatures capable of supporting fusion.
What is the final life cycle stage of the most massive stars?
rrrrr
Which life cycle stage are stars stable and why?
The young star stage because at that stage, stars are just burning, no interruptions or disturbances
Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?
Stars with a low to medium mass will become white dwarfs. Massive stars will become neutron stars or black holes.
What is most useful in determining the position of stars?
parallax

What do the orbits of binary stars tell about stars?
Binary stars are very useful for determining the mass of the stars and thus any objects orbiting around them.

What must scientists keep in mind when determining a stars lumisity?
you skip the question!
Atoms that power the sun and other stars?
The most important fusion process in nature is that which powers the stars. The net result is the fusion of four protons into one alpha particle, with the release of two positrons, two neutrinos (which changes two of the protons into neutrons), and energy, but several individual reactions are involved, depending on the mass of the star. For stars the size of the sun or smaller, the proton-proton chain dominates. In heavier stars, the CNO cycle is more important. Look up CNO cycle in Wikipedia
Which stars produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle?
Stars that produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle are predominantly those with a mass about 1.3 times the mass of our Sun or greater.Our Sun, and stars comparable in mass or less, predominantly use the proton-proton cycle.
Are stars important for animals yes or no?
yes stars are important for animals
Where do all-stars begin their life cycle?
In the nebula!
Where is the earth on the star life cycle?
The "star life cycle" refers to stars. Earth is not a star.
Who invented the life cycle of a star?
Nobody "invented" it, the life cycle of stars happens naturally.
What are some examples of periodic cycles?
water cycle, rock cycle, carbon dioxide/oxygen cycle, nitrogen cycle
