CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A star’s life cycle is determined by its mass. The larger its mass, the shorter its life cycle. A star’s mass is determined by the amount of matter that is available in its nebula, the giant cloud of gas and dust from which it was born.

Detailed explanation-2: -as our sun (just on a larger scale) upto the Main Sequence stage, Then the massive stars expand into a Red Supergiant, Explode into a Supernova, Then turn into a Black Hole or a Neutron Star.

Detailed explanation-3: -Giant stars use up their hydrogen fuel quickly, resulting in short lifetimes. An eight solar mass star will live less than 100 million years. At 10-15 solar masses, the lifetime of the star drops to only 10-20 million years. The most massive giant stars are believed to live no more than a few million years.

Detailed explanation-4: -The more fuel, the more supply of material for fusion the star has and so the longer the star can live. The fuel is hydrogen atoms and the number of hydrogen atoms is greater in high mass stars than it is in lower mass stars. Thus, the higher the mass of the star, the longer its lifetime can be.

Detailed explanation-5: -Massive stars live shorter lives than the common small stars because even though they have a larger amount of hydrogen for nuclear reactions, their rate of consuming their fuel is very much greater.
