Question Answered step-by-step 1. The star with 10 times the mass of the Sun has more matter for… 1. The star with 10 times the mass of the Sun has more matter for gravity to pull towards the core. Will the pressure pushing back against that gravity need to be higher or lower than the pressure in the center of the Sun? Why? 2. What about the star with 0.1 times the mass of the Sun? With less material for gravity to pull inward, will its core pressure be lower or higher?   3.  Of the three stars we’re thinking about (0.1, 1, and 10 times the mass of the Sun), which one would have the highest core temperature?   How about the lowest?  Why?    4.  Based on the core temperatures you figured out in question #3 above,  which star has the fastest  (most efficient) fusion? Which star has the slowest?    5. Which of the three stars has the highest luminosity? Which has the lowest?   6. Which star should be the bluest? Which star will be the reddest?          Science Astronomy ASTR-01 1562 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
