The stars with the shortest lifetimes are massive stars, specifically those with masses greater than about 8 times that of the Sun. These stars burn through their nuclear fuel at an incredibly rapid rate, leading to lifespans of only a few million years. In contrast, smaller stars, like red dwarfs, can last for billions of years. The rapid consumption of fuel in massive stars ultimately leads to their explosive deaths as supernovae.

Which star will emit the shortest wavelength of its peak frequency?

The star emitting the shortest wavelength of its peak frequency will be a star with high temperature, such as a blue star. This is because the wavelength of light emitted by an object is inversely proportional to its temperature according to Wien's law.


What is the range of expected stars lifetime?

The highest-mass stars have the shortest lifetimes; a star 60 times as massive as the Sun is predicted to have a lifetime of only a few million years, and extremely massive stars like R136a1 have even shorter lifetimes. In contrast, small, cool, dim stars can burn for a very long time; the smallest red dwarf stars may last for a trillion years before burning out.

A star's lifetime depends on what?

A star's lifetime depends on its mass. More massive stars have shorter lifetimes, burning through their fuel faster, while less massive stars have longer lifetimes. Additionally, the composition of a star determines how it burns its fuel and influences its lifetime.
