The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
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.
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.
A low to medium-mass star eventually evolves into a red giant as it runs out of fuel in its core. After shedding its outer layers, the star will collapse into a white dwarf, which is the end stage of its life cycle.
High, typically 10 to 70 times (or more) the mass of our own sun.
Sirius B is a white dwarf. So it is low mass compared to other stellar remnants.

High mass.

High mass.
white dwarf
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.
A low to medium-mass star eventually evolves into a red giant as it runs out of fuel in its core. After shedding its outer layers, the star will collapse into a white dwarf, which is the end stage of its life cycle.
The end life of a planetary nebula is typically associated with low mass stars. These stars eventually shed their outer layers to create a planetary nebula as they transition to the white dwarf stage of their evolution. High mass stars, on the other hand, end their lives in supernova explosions.
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.
Formation of the star out of a giant cloud of gas and dust.
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.
