"Intermediate mass" might be about the size of our Sun, perhaps a bit larger or smaller. I don't think the term is clearly defined. If you refer to the diameter, well, our Sun has a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers; but once it runs out of hydrogen, it will become several times larger. Similarly, for any other mass, the diameter of a star can vary, within a fairly large range, depending mainly on where the star is in its life cycle.

What is the main function of the intermediate mass?
The main function of the intermediate mass in astrophysics typically refers to the mass range of stars that fall between low-mass and high-mass stars, generally between about 8 to 20 solar masses. These stars play a crucial role in the chemical evolution of galaxies, as they produce heavy elements through nuclear fusion during their lifetimes and disperse them into the interstellar medium when they explode as supernovae. This enriches the surrounding environment, contributing to the formation of new stars and planetary systems. Additionally, intermediate-mass stars can influence stellar dynamics in star clusters and galactic structures.
Can the sun turn into a neutron star?
No. The Sun is of fairly ordinary mass, and isn't NEARLY big enough to undergo a supernova explosion that would collapse the core to neutron star density. In fact, the minimum mass for a star that will die that way is about 3 times the mass of the Sun.
What color are intermediate mass stars?
Intermediate mass stars are typically yellow in color. This color is a result of their surface temperature and the stage of their evolution.
What is the size of the star Merak in the Big Dipper?
Its mass is 2.7 times that of our sun whil its radius is 3.02 times as large.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass sequence star?
The sun is a low mass sequence star. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, which means it is in the middle of its stellar evolution and will remain stable for billions of years.
Why does red gaints stars form?
A red gaint star is a luminous star of low or intermediate mass(0.5ms to 10ms). its

If an intermediate-mass star begins to expand and decreases in temperature to around 3000 K what stage is the star most likely entering?
Maturity or post main-sequence.
What determins how long a star lives?
It's luminosity,motion and mass.
Is a star big or small?
A star can be big or small, depending on its size. The size of a star is determined by its mass - larger stars have more mass and are generally bigger, while smaller stars have less mass and are smaller in size.
Where is the intermediate mass?
Intermediate mass is refers to a type of connective mass. This connecting mass typically connects two lobes in nervous tissue.

When an intermediate mass star enters the red giant stage of its life cycle what cause the star to give off a red glow?
As the star balloons into the red giant phase, its surface becomes further away from the core and cools. This changes the color appearance of the star from orange or blue to red.
Is the Rigel star a high mass star or a low mass star?
High mass.
