Question

stage: main sequence stage: red giant stage: white dwarf when you open the lid, the default star has the same mass of the sun, so you can consider this star to be our sun or to be very similar to our sun. you can change the mass, and select stars whose masses range from one fifth of the mass of the sun to stars with a mass 40 times larger than the mass of the sun! group the stars based on life cycle run the simulation on “fast” for stars of all solar masses in the simulation. indicate below how you would group the stars based on the stages they go through. group group 1 (our sun and stars like our sun) group 2 group 3 stages of life cycle 1. main sequence 2. red giant 3. white dwarf 1. red giant 2. main sequence 3. white dwarf 1. white dwarf 2. red giant 3. main sequence group which masses fall in this group? 1 mass x sun 20 mass x sun 6 mass x sun

Explanation:

Stars are grouped based on their life - cycle stages and mass. Stars like our Sun (Group 1) go through Main Sequence, Red Giant, and White Dwarf stages. Group 2 and 3 seem to have incorrect order of life - cycle stages written. Typically, low - mass stars (similar to the Sun) start as Main Sequence stars, expand into Red Giants, and end as White Dwarfs.

Answer:

Group	Group 1 (our Sun and stars like our Sun)	Group 2	Group 3
Which masses fall in this group?	Mass similar to the Sun	Mass much larger than the Sun (but needs more specific range)	Mass much smaller or much larger than the Sun (but needs more specific range)
