More massive stars usually appear brighter, therefore bluer. Less massive being redder, and yellow in the middle. I could be wrong.

Is there a link between the mass of a planet and the distance from its star?

Yes, there is a relationship between the mass of a planet and its distance from its star. Heavier planets tend to form farther away from their star, while lighter planets form closer. This is due to the way planetary material condenses and accumulates in different parts of a developing solar system.


What color is a low mass star?

A low mass star typically appears red in color due to its cooler surface temperature. This type of star is classified as a red dwarf and emits a reddish light compared to higher mass stars.


Which type of star best obey mass-luminosity relation?

Main sequence stars best obey the mass-luminosity relation. This empirical relation states that there is a direct relationship between a star's mass and its luminosity. In general, the more massive a main sequence star is, the more luminous it will be.


What the relationship between the size of star and its fate at the end of the star cycle?

The fate of a star depends not so much on its size (diameter), but on its mass.Low-mass stars (up to about 1.4 times the mass of our Sun) will become white dwarves. Above that, and the star will become a neutron star. Somewhere between 2-3 solar masses another limit is reached, where a neutron star isn't stable; instead, the star becomes a black hole. The masses mentioned refer to the mass that remains once the star runs out of energy.


What is the relationship between a black hole and a neutron star?

Think of a black hole like the neutron star's big brother. When a star reaches the end of its life, it blows off its outer layer in a supernova and leaves behind a stellar remnant. The mass of the star, during its life, determines what is left behind by its death. For relatively low mass stars (such as our own star), the remnant is a white dwarf. Get much larger than about 1.4 times our own star's mass and you end up with a neutron star. The exact upper mass limit for neutron star formation isn't known for certain, but the estimate is something between 2 and 3 times our own star's mass. Above that, and the remnant core collapses into a black hole.

How does star color relate to mass?

There is no simple relation. The color does not depend only on the mass. The same star can change color, without a significant change in mass. For example, our Sun is currently yellow; in a few billion years, it is expected to get much larger, becoming a red giant. However, if we limit the sample of stars to those on the "main sequence" of the "HR diagram", there is something of a relation between mass and color. The most massive stars are blue or white. They are also hottest and most luminous. The least massive are the red dwarf stars, which are relatively cool and dim. Our Sun, which is a "main sequence" star at present, is somewhere in between those extremes. (There is a strong relationship between mass and luminosity for main sequence stars. The HR diagram, of course, shows there is a relationship between luminosity and color for the main sequence stars.)


What is the relationship between the color and the temperature of star?

The relationship is that the color is an indication of the star's surface temperature. For example, red stars are cooler, while blue stars are hotter. You can find more details in the Wikipedia article "Stellar classification".


What is the color of a star most closely related to its?

The color of a star is closely related to its temperature. Cooler stars appear reddish in color, while hotter stars appear blue. This is due to the relationship between temperature and the peak wavelength of light emitted by the star.


What does color have to do with a star's mass?

The color of a star is mainly related to the star's surface temperature. This is only remotely related to the star's mass; for example, high-mass stars can either be very hot (blue) or not-so-hot (red), depending on the phase in the star's life.


What is the relationship between mass and the and stages of stars?

The mass could either be a red giant or a super giant, they both evolve into different ways, after a star runs out of fuel, it becomes a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
