What is the relationship between mass and the lifespan of the star?

What is a lifespan of a star?

Anywhere between a few millions and trillions of years, depending mainly on the star's mass.


What factor determines the lifespan of a star?

MASS


What is the relationship between mass and the end stages of stars lives?

The more mass a star has the less time it has to live or "be a star." The less mass a star has the longer it has to live.


Does the stars mass have anything to do with the stars brightness?

the brightness of a star is dependant on its temperature and radius. however, while a star is burning hydrogen into helium (which all stars do for most of their lifespan and it's usually this kind of object we mean when we say "star") a correlation does exist between the mass of the star and its luminosity (brightness)


What is the life expectancy of the cool red dwarf star?

It depends. The lower the mass of the star, the longer the lifespan. It is believed that the lifespan of these stars exceeds the expected 10 billion year lifespan of our Sun by the third or fourth power of the ratio of their masses to the solar mass, which means a red dwarf with 0.1 solar mass may continue burning for 10 trillion years


If a star is twice as massive as the sun how will its lifespan compare?

The life expectancy of a star (E) depends on its mass (M), roughly following the model of E = M-2.5. For a star with a mass twice that of our sun (enter 2 in place of `M`), then the lifespan will give 0.177. Our suns lifespan is around 10 billion years, so this would equate to 1.77 billion years.


What does the life span of a star depend on?

How massive it is and its luminosity (the mass and luminosity correlate with each other with most stars, mainly the main sequence stars). The more mass a star has, the shorter its lifespan.


What is the relationship between mass and the and stages of stars?

The mass could either be a red giant or a super giant, they both evolve into different ways, after a star runs out of fuel, it becomes a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.


What is the relationship between mass and the end stages of stars?

The mass could either be a red giant or a super giant, they both evolve into different ways, after a star runs out of fuel, it becomes a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.


What is the relationship between mass and the end of stages and stars?

The mass could either be a red giant or a super giant, they both evolve into different ways, after a star runs out of fuel, it becomes a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.


What the relationship between the size of star and its fate at the end of the star cycle?

The fate of a star depends not so much on its size (diameter), but on its mass.Low-mass stars (up to about 1.4 times the mass of our Sun) will become white dwarves. Above that, and the star will become a neutron star. Somewhere between 2-3 solar masses another limit is reached, where a neutron star isn't stable; instead, the star becomes a black hole. The masses mentioned refer to the mass that remains once the star runs out of energy.
