Not at all. The end state of a star depends almost entirely on the beginning mass of the star.

Small stars like red dwarf stars will continue essentially forever. They will continue to fuse their supply of hydrogen until the helium "ash" begins to inhibit hydrogen fusion, and will begin to cool very slowly. They will never get hot enough to begin helium fusion, but the expected lifetime is longer than the age of the universe.

More massive stars like the Sun will fuse their hydrogen until helium begins to inhibit the hydrogen fusion, and they will begin to collapse. This increases the temperature and pressure until they begin to fuse helium, at which time the star will expand into red giant, in about 4 billion years.

Very massive stars will fuse their hydrogen, and then helium, until they explode in nova or supernova explosions. The end result would be either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the initial mass.

The more massive the star, the faster it burns out. A supergiant star like Betelgeuse is already old at only 100 million years or so, and will probably go supernova "soon". However, "soon" to an astronomer could be anywhere in the next 10,000 years.

Do all-star same size why or why not?

No, not all stars are the same size. Stars come in a range of sizes, from small dwarf stars like red dwarfs to massive giants like supergiants. A star's size is determined by its mass and life stage in the process of stellar evolution.


Are stars all the same color?

Stars come in different colors based on their temperature. Hotter stars appear blue or white while cooler stars can appear red or yellow. The color of a star is an indication of its temperature and stage in its life cycle.

Are all-stars in the same galaxy?

No, there are more massive galaxies with stars in them.


Why dont all stars end their life in the same way?

Stars end their lives differently based on their mass. Massive stars end in supernova explosions, leaving behind either a neutron star or a black hole. Smaller stars like our Sun end in a less dramatic process called a planetary nebula, eventually becoming a white dwarf. The difference in mass determines the final fate of a star.
