How long a star takes to burn out depends on the mass of the star. It is estimated that stars can burn for billions of years. The understanding is the more mass a star has the faster it can burn out.

What are the life stages of a giant blue star?

A blue giant starts out as a nebula, with particles colliding until they form a very large, bright blue mass that is the star. When the star runs out of hydrogen in a few million years, it starts to burn other elements: Helium, Carbon, Neon, Oxygen, Silicon, then finally Iron. Then the outer layers explode in a huge supernova, while the core, under too much gravity, will collapse into a black hole, because the star is so massive.


What is a blue giant star made of?

A blue giant star is primarily made up of hydrogen and helium, the two most abundant elements in the universe. These stars are very hot and massive, leading to intense nuclear fusion reactions in their cores that produce their distinctive blue color. Trace amounts of other elements, such as carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, can also be present in the outer layers of these stars.
