There are no stars with a mass greater than 100M because they cannot be sustained. Stars this size usually explode in a supernova or suddenly collapse.

Compare the distance between two stars and the distance between two planets?

The distance between stars are much greater than distances between objects in our solar system


Which air masses have the greatest effect on weather conditions in much of the US?

continental polar and maritime tropical


Why does the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths oceans tides then the suns gravity?

-- The forces of gravity between two masses are inversely proportional tothe square of the distance between the masses, and directly proportionalto the product of the masses.-- The sun is about 390 times as far from us as the moon is.-- The square of 390 is 152,690.-- So each little pellet of mass in the moon attracts each little pellet of water onEarth 152,690 times as strongly as the same size pellet of solar mass does.-- The sun has 27.08 million times as much mass as the moon has. So all thepellets in the sun put together attract each little pellet of water on the Earth27.08 million times as strongly as the whole moon would if it were at the samedistance from us as the sun is.-- Put these two together, and you have 27.08 million times stronger, divided by152,690 times weaker, = 177.4 times as much force in favor of the sun.Surprise! The sun actually has a greater effect on the tides than the moon does.


Why does erosion of a riverbed increase so much during flood times?

There is a much higher volume of water, and increased speed in a river that is in flood. This increase in force will move stones and boulders, scouring the river's bed.


Which mineral is present in much greater quantities in peridotite than in gabbro?

The answer is peridotite.

Why do stars with smaller masses burn longer than stars with larger masses?

Stars with larger masses have stronger gravity; this results in more pressure; which in turn makes the star hotter. As a result of the higher temperature, they will shine brighter, and burn their fuel much faster.


What is the weight of star?

Stars do not have weight they have mass. Our Sun is said to be one solar mass or 1.98892×1030 kg. There are stars smaller than our Sun (read dwarfs) which can be down to 0.075 solar masses and stars much much bigger than the Sun (Hypergiants) which can reach 80-150 solar masses.


Why some massive stars become neutron stars and other black holes?

It depends on the mass of the star and how much of the star actually goes into the remnant.Stars between 10 and 25 times the mass of the sun form neutron stars. Stars over 40 solar masses form black holes. Stars between 25 and 40 solar masses can form either depending on how much of the star is blown away during the supernova and how much falls back into the collapsing core.


Why do you not notice the gravity between you and a bowl of soup?

Because the force of gravity between you and the Earth is so much greater than the attraction between you and the bowl of soup that it's insignificant. Gravity increases when the mass of the bodies it is acting on increases. Thus, the Earth is so much larger than the bowl that its force of attraction on you is much, much greater. Also, if the masses are small, gravity is very small - if you are in a vacuum with said bowl of soup, there still won't be a noticeable force between you two because your masses are so small compared to planets and stars.


In terms of solar mass which of the stars evolves most rapidly?

Massive stars evolve the fastest.Massive stars must supply more energy to prevent collapse under their own gravity. This energy is supplied by the 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. Therefore, massive stars will burn their fuel faster and quicker evolve from their position on the main sequence


Does 600 billion solar masses equal to 600 billion stars?

Not necessarily. In simplest form, 600 billion solar masses simply means that something is 600 billion times more massive than the sun, regardless of what it is. The sun is more massive than the average star, so if we are talking about stars alone, then 600 billion masses would be equivalent to more than 600 billion stars. It would also depend on what the context is. For example if a galaxy is 600 billion solar masses, much of that mass would be in interstellar gas and dust clouds in addition to stars.


How much for a f 15 jet?

100M


Why don't high-mass stars live longer?

Massive stars have much greater pressure on their cores, causing them to burn hydrogen (the fuel) more quickly.


How much for 1 hectare with the square meter?

1 hectare is 10,000 square metres. It is 100m x 100m.


Why do blue stars have short lives?

Blue stars are massive and thus the amount of pressure in the core is greater than a smaller body. Because of this greater pressure, there is more heat, and this creates more fusion. Thus blue stars having more hydrogen, use up this fuel supply much quicker than smaller stars.

What is the masses and absolute magnitude of the stars?

Considering there are over 10 sextillion stars in the visible Universe, listing them - at one a second - would take over 31,688,764,600,000 (31 trillion) years and I'm sorry I just don't have that much time.
