What else can I help you with?
What variable determines wether a protostar becomes a star?
mass
How do you know what star becomes when it dies?
You will know what a star becomes when it dies based off of its mass. If the mass of the star is less than, around, or slightly greater than the sun's mass, it will become a white dwarf. If the mass of the star is a few solar masses, a supernova will happen and a neutron star will be created. If the mass of the star is many times that of the sun, it will explode in a giant supernova called a hypernova and create a black hole.
How do you calculate life span of a star?
The life span of a star is determined by its mass. More massive stars burn through their fuel faster and have shorter life spans, while less massive stars have longer life spans. The life span of a star can be estimated using the mass-luminosity relation and the star's initial mass.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
What characteristic determines the life cycle of a star?
mass
How long a star lives and what is becomes at the end of its life depends primarily on what?
I think it´s mass.
What is the difference between a star that becomes a red giant and one that becomes a red supergaint?
The mass of the star.
What are the main factors which determines if a star becomes a black hole?
The mass of the host star.
What variable determines wether a protostar becomes a star?
mass

What is a new star called?
A newly formed star is called a protostar. This is the early stage of a star's life cycle when it is still accumulating mass from its surrounding gas and dust. Once a protostar reaches a critical mass and temperature, nuclear fusion begins and it becomes a fully-fledged star.
What determines a star becomes a white dwarf neutron star or a black hole?
its original mass when it formed
How do you calculate life span of a star?
The life span of a star is determined by its mass. More massive stars burn through their fuel faster and have shorter life spans, while less massive stars have longer life spans. The life span of a star can be estimated using the mass-luminosity relation and the star's initial mass.
How does the mass of a star determine how it dies?
I believe if its over a certain mass it becomes 2 forms of super giant, then usually becomes supernova and cause a black hole. If under a certain mass it may expand slightly but then become a black or white dwarf star.
What determines the life cycle of a star?
its mass
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 sun a low mass or high mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
