Determining the Sizes of Stars Using the HR Diagram
... Stars are born with a wide variety of mass. The most massive stars are 100 times more massive than the Sun while the least massive ones are only 0.08 times the mass of the Sun. Most stars spend about 90% of their lifetimes shining due to nuclear fusion that goes on in their cores, but after awhile t ...
