Question

1. compare the events in the life of the sun with those of a star that starts with less mass than the sun. (1 point) a. |

Explanation:

Stars with less mass than the Sun have longer - lived main - sequence phases as they burn fuel more slowly. They will not reach the high temperatures and pressures to fuse elements beyond helium in significant amounts. When they end their lives, they typically become white dwarfs without the violent supernova explosions that more massive stars (like the Sun's eventual fate might be in some models) experience.

Answer:

Stars with less mass than the Sun have longer main - sequence lifetimes, do not fuse elements beyond helium as extensively, and end their lives as white dwarfs without supernova explosions.
