Why will a helium flash never occur in some stars?
A helium flash occurs in low-mass stars during the helium burning phase. High-mass stars do not experience a helium flash because they have a higher core temperature and pressure, so helium burning begins smoothly without the need for a sudden ignition event. Additionally, high-mass stars have higher energy production rates, which prevent the conditions required for a helium flash from occurring.
What type of star ages faster?
The most massive stars; they will use up their fuel much faster than less-massive stars. or even low mass star which is less then half the mass of our sun may able to last more then a trillion years that is longer then the universe age
What is the high and low mass of the stars compared to the mass of our sun?
Stars are classified based on their mass, with low-mass stars typically having less than about 0.8 solar masses, while high-mass stars can exceed 8 solar masses. The sun has a mass of approximately 1 solar mass, serving as a reference point. Low-mass stars burn their fuel slowly and can have lifespans of billions of years, whereas high-mass stars burn quickly and may only last a few million years before ending their lives in supernovae.
What kind of stars become black holes low mass or medium mass or high mass?
High-mass stars might become black holes, if the remaining matter (after the supernova explosion) is sufficiently large.
Do high mass stars and low mass stars evolve the same?
High mass stars and low mass stars evolve differently due to their distinct physical characteristics and life cycles. High mass stars undergo rapid fusion processes, leading to a brief lifespan and ending in supernova explosions, often forming neutron stars or black holes. In contrast, low mass stars evolve more slowly, transitioning through stages such as red giants and ending as white dwarfs after shedding their outer layers. These differences in evolution result from variations in temperature, pressure, and nuclear fusion rates within the stars.
Is low and high mass stars indirect or inverse?
Low and high mass stars are indirectly related; high mass stars evolve faster and have shorter lifespans compared to low mass stars. This is because high mass stars burn through their fuel at a faster rate due to their higher core temperature and pressure.
Why do larger stars burn their fuel faster?
Larger stars have more mass, resulting in higher pressure and temperature in their cores. This leads to faster fusion reactions, burning through their fuel more quickly than smaller stars. Additionally, larger stars have higher luminosities, which accelerates their fuel consumption.

What do high mass stars and low mass stars have in common?
They produce light.
What type of star ages faster?
The most massive stars; they will use up their fuel much faster than less-massive stars. or even low mass star which is less then half the mass of our sun may able to last more then a trillion years that is longer then the universe age
What is made when stars die?
There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.
How do the numbers of low-mass stars compare with those of higher-mass stars in new star clusters?
In a newly formed star cluster stars with low masses must greaty out number stars with high masses. High mass stars are rare and low mass stars are extremely common.
What are both high mass and low mass adult stars classified as?
High mass adult stars are classified as supergiants or giants, while low mass adult stars are classified as main sequence stars. This classification is based on the mass of the star and where it falls on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
Average life span of a star?
The average life span of a star depends on its mass. Low-mass stars, like our Sun, can live for about 10 billion years. Higher-mass stars have shorter life spans, burning through their fuel faster and living for only millions of years.
Is a short life span high mass medium mass or low mass?
high mass has shortest life (stars right?)
