If a contracting protostar is two times the radius of the Sun and has a temperature of only 1890 K, how luminous will it be relative to the Sun?
A red giant star has a temperature of 3900 K and a luminosity of 13600 LSun. How many times bigger is this star than the Sun? Hint: You need the surface temperature of the sun for this problem. Use the value in the book, 5800K.
A red giant that was originally a 9.5MSun main-sequence star loses a solar mass in 100,000 years via a superwind. What is this mass loss rate in units of solar masses per year? (the answer is not 0.000095 solar masses per year). Additionally, at this mass loss rate, what will the red giant's mass be after 0.5 million years? (Enter your answer as a multiple of MSun.)
A supernova’s energy is often compared to the total energy output of the Sun over its lifetime. Using the Sun’s current luminosity, calculate the total solar energy output, assuming a 1010 year main-sequence lifetime. Using Einstein’s formula E=mc2 calculate the equivalent amount of mass, expressed in Earth masses. [Hint: The total energy output of the Sun over its lifetime is given by its current luminosity times the number of seconds in a year times its ten billion-year lifetime; ; mass of earth = 6×1024kg; c = 3×108m/s. Your answer should be 200-300 Earth masses.]

In the star clusters shown, which one is younger and why?
How often can a star go supernova? Group of answer choices Many times, depending on the size of its companion star. Twice, the first time when it runs out hydrogen, and the second time when it runs out of iron. Once, early in its evolution. Once, late in its evolution. At various times, depending on the composition of the star.
Why are red dwarfs very dim.
The figure above shows a track on the H-R diagram corresponding to the evolution of a star like the one you’ve just considered. Six stages are numbered. Six stages of stellar evolution are listed below – for each stage, write the number corresponding to its position on the diagram (four of these stages are the same stages you considered in the first part of this tutorial). Horizontal branch: Asymptotic giant branch: White dwarf: Main sequence: Planetary nebula: Red giant branch: What is the approximate mass of this star, in solar masses? Explain how you can tell.
A typical white dwarf has a mass of about 1.0MSunMSun and the radius of Earth (about 6400 kilometers). Calculate the average density of a white dwarf, in kilograms per cubic centimeter.
If a contracting protostar is five times the radius of the sun and has a temperature of only 2000 K, how luminous will it be?
(Answer don't copy with hand written please)As a star runs out of hydrogen to fuel nuclear fusion in its core, changes within the star usually cause it to leave the main sequence, expanding and cooling as it does so. Would a star with a radius 12 times that of the Sun, but a surface temperature 0.5 times that of the Sun, be more, or less luminous than the Sun? Show and explain your reasoning. You may assume the surface area of a sphere is A = 4πr2.
