Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mass of a star is the most important factor in determining its birth, life cycle, and eventual death. It determines the star's core temperature, which in turn affects the reactions that take place within the star, and therefore its evolution. Higher mass stars burn hotter and faster, while lower mass stars burn slower and live longer.
