Yeah Yeah

EDIT: well if it is blinking colors like "holiday-stars" as i call them, there is a black hole or another star stealing matter from it. and a star loses matter when it becomes a black hole because it sucks in all matter and light and sound and crushes it out of existance. a star CAN lose matter! so the law of conservation of mass is neither wrong or correct in this sense.

Stars can lose mass through stellar winds, where particles are ejected from the star's outer layers. This process is often observed in giant stars and can result in the loss of significant amounts of mass over time. Other mechanisms that can cause stars to lose mass include supernova explosions, where a star sheds its outer layers during a powerful explosion.

Is there evidence for a black hole at the center of your galaxy?

Yes. For example, stars close to the center of our Milky Way have been observed to move around a massive object; the movement of the stars is consistent with a mass of around 4 million times the mass of our Sun.


Do high mass stars or low mass stars have a faster rate of burning?

High mass stars have a faster rate of burning compared to low mass stars. This is because high mass stars have more gravitational pressure in their cores, leading to faster nuclear reactions and higher energy output. This results in a shorter lifespan for high mass stars compared to low mass stars.


What is a mass of stars called?

An isolated and distinct mass of stars is a galaxy.


What does not gain or lose mass?

Energy does not have mass. It can be converted into mass (such as in nuclear reactions) or from mass (as in matter-antimatter annihilation), but the energy itself does not gain or lose mass.


What did Einstein propose about stars?

its not about stars its about mass and he proposed that mass can be converted into energy


What do high mass stars and low mass stars have in common?

They produce light.


Almost all-stars fall under a mass range of?

Most stars fall within a mass range of approximately 0.1 to 100 times the mass of our Sun. This range includes most of the stars in the universe, from low-mass stars like red dwarfs to high-mass stars like blue giants.


How do the numbers of low-mass stars compare with those of higher-mass stars in new star clusters?

In a newly formed star cluster stars with low masses must greaty out number stars with high masses. High mass stars are rare and low mass stars are extremely common.


What are both high mass and low mass adult stars classified as?

High mass adult stars are classified as supergiants or giants, while low mass adult stars are classified as main sequence stars. This classification is based on the mass of the star and where it falls on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.


Is the sun a low mass or high mass star?

There are more low mass stars. this is for two reasons:- # the star forming process generates more low mass stars # High mass stars burn out very quickly and explode as supernovas and thus over time there are less and less of them.


What is made when stars die?

There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.


What do you call a huge mass of stars and planets?
