Question
in terms of density, describe a star with an average mass at equilibrium.
Brief Explanations
A star at equilibrium with average mass has a density that is high. This is because the gravitational force pulling inwards is balanced by the outward - pushing radiation pressure. High density is required to sustain the nuclear fusion reactions in its core which generate the radiation pressure.
