The term "ordinary" does not have special connotation in the context of astrophysics, and one should appeal to context to infer its meaning. For example, a non exceptional, ordinary star could mean it's a main sequence star, or that it is not a hypergiant, or not statistically anomalous in terms of luminosity or temperature such as a Wolf-Rayet star, or that it is not otherwise anomalous such as a cepheid or variable star.
What else can I help you with?
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 are the similarities between sun and star?
Our sun is a quite ordinary star, in an ordinary galaxy. The only differences would be size and distance. Our sun is about 93 million miles away from us, where as the closest star to us, is about 4.2 light years. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, therefore 4.2[(186,000 x 60 squared) x24 x365] = the distance in miles from our sun to the nearest star, this would be about 24,635,923,200,000 miles that's over 24 and a half trillion miles away! this is like going back and forth to the sun 132,451 times!
How many stars have been observed in our solar system?
There is only one, the Sun. All other stars are outside the solar system. The Sun is a very ordinary star that just happens to be very close. Many of the stars we see in the sky are bigger and brighter than the Sun, only a lot further away.
Is the sun a star or a?
The Sun is a star.
Do stars produce light?
Yes. The sun is one of many stars, and there are even larger stars than the sun. Our sun is just an average star.
Is the sun the biggest star in the Milky Way?
No. The sun is fairly ordinary in size. The largest known star is VY Canis Majoris.
Is the earths sun the biggest star?
The Sun is classified as a medium to medium-small yellow star. As stars in our galaxy go, the Sun is, truthfully, about as ordinary as stars get - but it does the job!
Why is our Sun not a ordinary star?
Our Sun is considered an ordinary star because it follows the characteristics of a typical main-sequence star. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star and is about halfway through its life cycle, converting hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion in its core. Its uniqueness lies in its proximity to Earth, allowing us to study it in detail and understand the processes happening within a star more effectively.
Why do you consider the sun is the brightest star?
It is only the brightest visible star because of its proximity. It is a very ordinary one.
What is unusual about the Sun compared to any other star?
There is nothing unusual about the sun. It is brighter and larger than average, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Why is the sun the biggest and hottest star in space?
It isn't. The sun is a fairly ordinary star. It only seems big and hot compared to other because it is much closer to us than any other star.
What shapes does star have?
a sphere just like every planet (sun) star==sun
Is the sun the biggest star of all?
The largest known star is VY Canis Majoris; a red hypergiant star in the Canis Major Constellation, located about 5,000 light-years from Earth. Its size is 2,100 times the size of the Sun. This is the biggest star that we know of but there are plenty of stars in the Milky Way that we just cannot see.
Is the sun billions of stars?
No. The sun is just one star.
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.
Are the stars you see smaller than the sun?
Some stars are smaller than the sun, some are smaller, and some are about the same size. The sun is a star that is larger than average, but not out of the ordinary.
What is different of sun and moon?
The Sun is a Star, the Moon is just a rock
