High, typically 10 to 70 times (or more) the mass of our own sun.
White dwarf stage. Its shrinks to a lot extent in this stage. Edit: A high mass star is usually one that becomes a supergiant then a supernova. Eventually this should leave either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the star. The previous answer is for low mass stars.
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
Juvenile star is typically classified as a low mass star, as it is in the early stage of its life cycle. These stars have a mass similar to that of the Sun or less. They are characterized by their long lifespan and relatively stable nature.
Sirius B is a white dwarf. So it is low mass compared to other stellar remnants.
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is significantly larger than Proxima Centauri b, which is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri. Polaris is a supergiant star with a radius about 30 times that of the Sun, while Proxima Centauri is a small, low-mass star, about 14% the mass of the Sun. In terms of size, Polaris is vastly larger than Proxima Centauri b's host star.
High mass.
Orion is a constellation, not a star. Betelgeuse, the red giant at the left shoulder of Orion, is a supergiant.
White dwarf stage. Its shrinks to a lot extent in this stage. Edit: A high mass star is usually one that becomes a supergiant then a supernova. Eventually this should leave either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the star. The previous answer is for low mass stars.
High mass.
white dwarf
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
A low mass star will become a white dwarf star, eventually this will cool to become a black dwarf. A high mass star (at least 8 times the mass of our Sun) will form a neutron star or a black hole, after a supernova event.
When a star runs out of fuel, it can evolve into a red giant or a white dwarf, depending on its mass. Low to medium-mass stars (like our Sun) will expand and become red giants. High-mass stars will undergo a supernova explosion, leaving behind a dense core known as a white dwarf.
There are more low mass stars. this is for two reasons:- # the star forming process generates more low mass stars # High mass stars burn out very quickly and explode as supernovas and thus over time there are less and less of them.
No. A star's color does not necessarily say anything about its age. A red giant or red supergiant is a star entering its final stages, but how old it is depends on its mass. More massive stars die sooner. Red dwarfs are stars that simply have a low mass and can be any age.
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.
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.
