Is the mass of a neutron star closer to the mass of the earth or the sun?
The mass of a typical neutron star is believed to be between one and three times the mass of the sun. However, in size they would be much smaller than the earth, something on the order of around ten kilometers in diameter.
What is the general relationship between a star's mass and its lifetime A. The greater the mass of a star the longer the star's life. B. The greater the mass of a star the shorter the star's life. C.?
B. The greater the mass of a star, the shorter the star's life. Massive stars burn through their nuclear fuel much more quickly than smaller stars, leading to shorter lifespans. While smaller stars can exist for billions of years, massive stars may only last a few million years before they exhaust their fuel and undergo explosive deaths, such as supernovae.
You know the white dwarf stars Sirius B has a mass comparable to the Sun because of?
Because a white dwarf star is the core leftover from a bigger star and the core is the densest part of the star so although the star is smaller than the sun it has a similar mass as it is more dense
A neutron has a negative charge and a mass smaller than the mass of a proton?
Yes, the neutron has a negative charge and a mass that is smaller than the mass of a proton.
Why is the sun smaller than earth?
No. The sun is part of the solar system, so it cannot be bigger than it. The mass of the sun is much larger than the mass of the rest of the objects in the solar system put together, which may be what you are referring to.
What is heavier a star or a planet?
A star has more mass than a planet.
What determines the evolution of a star?
The mass of a star affects the lifespan of the star. The less the mass, the longer life span of the star. More massive stars burn up their fuel more quickly than the smaller stars. As the massive stars begin to burn the fuel and become smaller, the life span increases.
Is the mass of a neutron star closer to the mass of the earth or the sun?
The mass of a typical neutron star is believed to be between one and three times the mass of the sun. However, in size they would be much smaller than the earth, something on the order of around ten kilometers in diameter.
How much bigger is the sun than the smallest star?
The mass of a red dwarf can go down to about 0.075 times the mass of the Sun. Anything smaller than that would be a brown dwarf, which is no longer considered a star.
Is sun bigger than star?
The sun is a star. For mass and size: Stars come in various sizes in masses and you will find smaller and bigger stars than our sun.
Is earth smaller than a star?
Much, MUCH smaller than the smallest star.
What neutron star is smaller than white dwarfs are thought to be remnants of .?
A neutron star is the remnant of a star, which - at the end of its life, and AFTER possibly losing a lot of mass (for instance, in a supernova explosion) has a remaining mass that is greater than the so-called Chandrasekhar limit.
What has more mass the catapult or the marble?
The catapult has more mass than the marble, as it is a larger object designed to launch the marble. The marble is smaller and has less mass than the catapult.
What can a star get smaller than?
it can get smaller than an atom
Does smaller mass stars have a greater luminosity than larger mass stars?
This is not necessarily true. most of the time stars with a larger diameter have more mass but some stars with a smaller diameter are more dense and have a greater mass. Find a main sequence star chart and you can compare the data.
Why do larger objects have more gravity than smaller objects?
Larger objects have more gravity than smaller objects because they have more mass. Gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass - the more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull. This is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Are bigger objects always going to have more mass than smaller objects?
no
