If the sun had 10 times its current mass, it would burn through its fuel faster and evolve into a red supergiant star. When it runs out of fuel, it may go through a supernova explosion, leaving behind a dense core called a neutron star or potentially collapsing into a black hole.

Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?

No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.


How the life cycle of a low mass star differ from the life cycle of high mass star?

The major difference is that a low-mass star lives much longer. The reason for this is that a high-mass star gets hotter, is much brighter, and uses up its fuel much faster. The difference can be quite dramatic, with some stars being millions of times brighter than others. Also, assuming the star doesn't acquire additional mass, a low-mass star will end up as a white dwarf, while more massive stars will end up as a neutron star, or in the case of the most massive stars, a black hole.


How can uranus have 14 times as much mass as earth yet the gravitational force is less?

The gravitational force is set by the mass but also by how far away you are.


Does a low mass star have a longer life then a high mass star?

In order to prevent stars collapsing under their own gravity, some outward pressure must exist. this is supplied by the energy released by nuclear reactions in the core of the star. more massive stars need to burn their nuclear fuel at a much greater rate than smaller stars in order to produce enough energy to balance their much greater gravity. the difference in required reaction rates is actually greater than the difference in mass, consequently the more massive a star is, the faster it expends its fuel.


Does the sun have less gravity than the moon?

No. Gravity is a function of mass, and the sun's mass is about 27,000,000 times the mass of the moon.

Which star would live longer a star that has half the mass of the sun or a star that has 2 times the mass of the mass?

A star with half the mass of the sun would live longer as it burns its fuel at a slower rate due to lower internal pressure and temperature. The more massive star would burn through its fuel more quickly and have a shorter lifespan.


What is the purpose of the mass air flow sensor?

It determines the Mass of the Air Flowing into the engine. The engine computer must know how much air is flowing into the engine to determine how much fuel to inject into the cylinders to get the appropriate fuel-air mixture.


What type of star ages faster?

The most massive stars; they will use up their fuel much faster than less-massive stars. or even low mass star which is less then half the mass of our sun may able to last more then a trillion years that is longer then the universe age

No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.


What type of star is most likely to form a black whole?

That would be "black hole". This is most likely to happen when the original star is very massive - several times the mass of the Sun. A star of the Sun's mass will definitely NOT become a black hole, unless it somehow acquires much more mass.


What do the gas gauge tell you the velocity mass or acceleration?

The gas gauge measures the amount of fuel left in a vehicle's gas tank, not velocity, mass, or acceleration. It indicates how much fuel is remaining and helps drivers estimate how much longer they can drive before needing to refuel.


How much does a cat get babies?

It can happen several times, about up to three-maybe four times.


How much greater is the inertia of a 1 kg mass to the inertia of a 4 kg mass?

4 times as great


How much bigger is the earth than he moon?

Depends what measurement you want to compare. Diameter of the Earth is about 4 times as big, therefore its surface area is about 16 times as big and its volume 64 times as big; the Earth's mass is 81 times as much as the mass of the Moon.


How much heavier is a proton than a electron?

Electrons are lighter than proton Electrons are elementary particles, and just happen to be among the lightest of them all. Protons and neutrons are not elementary (they consist of quarks and gluons) and just happen to be heavierer


How much force is in a football hit?

Force equals mass times acceleration.


How much mass is in an given volume?

Volume times density (of the material contained).
