Because a massive star has more pressure on the core, this creates greater temperatures, which increase the amount of nuclear fusion that occurs. This uses more hydrogen and thus the star runs out of fuel much quicker, that a smaller star.

Will a blue star live longer than the sun?

A blue star has much greater mass and thus the temperatures in the core are much greater. This means it will use up it's supply of hydrogen much faster than our Sun.


Which stars have the longest life?

Smaller, cooler stars like red dwarfs have the longest life spans of up to trillions of years because they burn their fuel slowly. In contrast, massive stars like blue giants have much shorter life spans of only a few million years.


Do blue giant stars have a much longer life than the sun?

No. They have a much shorter duration.


Will a star lifecycle be shorter or longer if its mass its greater?

Shorter. More massive stars have much higher temperatures and pressures. Although they have a lot more fuel, it is consumed at a much higher rate than lower mass stars. They burn very brightly and hot, but for less time.


Which type of stars will most likely use up its nuclear fuel soonest?

Massive stars are more likely to use up their nuclear fuel the soonest. They burn fuel at a much faster rate due to their higher temperatures and pressures, resulting in shorter lifespans compared to smaller stars like our Sun.


Why does a blue star have the shortest life?

Actually, the stars that have the shortest life are the most massive ones, because the use up their fuel much faster. They may be red for part of their life, but having a huge surface area, they still emit an enormous amount of radiation.Actually, the stars that have the shortest life are the most massive ones, because the use up their fuel much faster.
