What are different sizes or stars?

Stars can be classified into different sizes based on their mass and luminosity. The most common sizes are dwarf stars (like our Sun), giant stars (larger and more luminous than the Sun), and supergiant stars (the largest and most luminous stars, like Betelgeuse and Rigel). There are also intermediate sizes like subgiant stars.


90 percent of the stars including your sun are what stars?

90 percent of stars, including the Sun, are main sequence stars. These stars are in a stable phase of nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen into helium in their cores to produce energy. Main sequence stars like our Sun are the most common type of stars in the universe.


Are most stars are smaller or larger than the sun?

Most stars are smaller than the sun, falling into the red dwarf category.

What Is the second lightest and second most abundant element found in stars 25 percent of the Sun is made from this element?

The second lightest and second most abundant element found in stars, making up about 25% of the Sun, is helium. Helium is formed through nuclear fusion in stars, with hydrogen being the most abundant element in stars like the Sun.
