The starting mass of the longest living stars, known as red dwarfs, is around 0.1 to 0.5 times the mass of the Sun. These stars have a very slow rate of nuclear fusion and can live for tens to hundreds of billions of years.

Which types of stars have the longest lives?

The ones with the lowest mass. The lowest-mass red dwarves can continue producing power (via nuclear fusion) for 10 trillion years or more.


The longest part of the total life of most stars is spent?

White dwarf stars are theorized to be the final evolutionary state of all stars that did not become neutron stars. This stage is the longest in a stars life outside of black dwarfs which are white dwarfs that have cooled dramatically.


What is a mass of stars called?

An isolated and distinct mass of stars is a galaxy.


Do high mass stars or low mass stars have a faster rate of burning?

High mass stars have a faster rate of burning compared to low mass stars. This is because high mass stars have more gravitational pressure in their cores, leading to faster nuclear reactions and higher energy output. This results in a shorter lifespan for high mass stars compared to low mass stars.


What did Einstein propose about stars?

its not about stars its about mass and he proposed that mass can be converted into energy


What do high mass stars and low mass stars have in common?

They produce light.


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.


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.


What are both high mass and low mass adult stars classified as?

High mass adult stars are classified as supergiants or giants, while low mass adult stars are classified as main sequence stars. This classification is based on the mass of the star and where it falls on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.


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.


Why is the fate of all-star?

Your question is not very clear, so i will answer according to my understanding. There are different types of stars, all different in size and composition. Regardsless of this fact, one commonality exist between all stars, eventually they run out of fuel. Super massive stars are the largest in the universe and they consume their fuel very quickly after which they will detonate as supernovae; completely disintegrating themselves in the process. The longest living stars are Red Dwarfs. Red dwarf stars are the most common kind of stars in the Universe. These are main sequence stars but they have such low mass that they're much cooler than stars like our Sun. They have another advantage. Red dwarf stars are able to keep the hydrogen fuel mixing into their core, and so they can conserve their fuel for much longer than other stars. Astronomers estimate that some red dwarf stars will burn for up to 10 trillion years. The smallest red dwarfs are 0.075 times the mass of the Sun, and they can have a mass of up to half of the Sun.
