Elements are the same size regardless of how they are synthesized. It is true, however, that small stars create fewer elements, and that the elements they create are lighter. A normal G-type star can, during the course of its evolution along the Main Sequence, produce elements up to iron. For elements heavier than that, larger stars are required; when they go nova, they can produce elements as heavy as uranium and beyond.

Which of these elements does this star contain?
Of which elements? - Stars usually consist mainly of hydrogen, less helium, and small amounts of the so-called "metals" (which, in astronomy, means any heavier elements).Of which elements? - Stars usually consist mainly of hydrogen, less helium, and small amounts of the so-called "metals" (which, in astronomy, means any heavier elements).Of which elements? - Stars usually consist mainly of hydrogen, less helium, and small amounts of the so-called "metals" (which, in astronomy, means any heavier elements).Of which elements? - Stars usually consist mainly of hydrogen, less helium, and small amounts of the so-called "metals" (which, in astronomy, means any heavier elements).
Which star lives longer giant stars or small stars?
Small stars live longer
What is the small groups of star?
A small group of stars is a cluster or a constellation of stars.
How do the small stars look compared to the biggest stars?
Small stars are realtively smaller and in heat too.
When was Stars Too Small to Use created?
Stars Too Small to Use was created in 1998.
What are small red stars called?
Small red stars are called red dwarves. They are the least luminescent and coldest stars.
Are there other elements found in stars than hydrogen and helium?
Yes. All naturally occurring elements in the universe can be found in most stars, though generally only in small concentrations. Massive stars that have depleted the hydrogen in their cores may start producing elements as heavy as iron.
Are you something of starlight?
Not starlight, but the material we are made of was made in stars. All elements heavier than helium, except for a small amount of lithium, are made in stars. All elements heavier than iron come from supernovae.
How did nuclear fussion in stars help create the elements?
Light elements combined to form the heavier elements.
Do stars that are very hot and very dim have a small mass or a small radius?
stars that are dim probably have both a small mass and a larger radius.
Are some stars about as small as earth is?
Yes, there are some stars as small as earth. It depends, however, on where the stars are located and how long they have been burnt out.
Name the gases that make up most of the stars?
Mainly hydrogen and helium. Stars also have small amounts of the so-called "metals", which is the name astronomers give to heavier elements.
