Low mass stars are created in the same way as all other stars, with one exception.
They do not accumulate enough mass to create enough pressure in the core for nuclear fusion to occur. They "glow" because of the external pressure on the core but this is not enough to initiate nuclear fusion.

What is the heaviest element a star with a mass of 1 solar mass can fuse?
Helium.
Is Sirius A a main sequence star?
Polaris - the current North star is a multiple star system., consisting of the main star and smaller companions. The main star Alpha Ursae Minoris is a bright star, a 6 solar mass supergiant and it is a main sequence star. Orbiting very close to this main star is a white dwarf of roughly 1.5 solar masses. This is not a main sequence star. Orbiting further out is the third companion, a 1.39 solar mass star. This is a main sequence star. There are also two more distant components (α UMi C and α UMi D) - Polaris is thought to be part of an open cluster - I do not know if these later two stars are main sequence or not.
Is the Rigel star a high mass star or a low mass star?
High mass.
Are white dwarf stars a low mass star?
A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
What element does a low mass star stop at and why?
Helium. A low mass star does not have enough mass to generate the heat needed to fuse helium.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass sequence star?
The sun is an intermediate-mass star.
Is the end life of a planetary nebula a high mass or low mass star?
Low mass
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.
