Which statement is most logical? a First stars are thought to have been more massive than Sun because the materials used to make clouds were more abundant at the beginning b First stars are thought to have been more massive than Sun because the temperatures of the clouds that made them were higher because they consisted entirely of hydrogen and helium c First stars are thought to have been more massive than Sun because star-forming clouds were much denser early in time d First stars are thought to have been more massive than Sun because the clouds that made them were much more massive
The Sun's mass is 2.0x1030 kg, its radius is 7.0x105 km, and it has a rotational period of approximately 28 days. If the Sun should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 3.7x103 km, what would its period be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model the Sun both before and after? 60.40 s Incorrect.

What is the difference between a nova and a supernova?
In about 5 billion years, the sun will evolve to a red giant. Assume that its surface temperature will decrease to about half its present value of 6000 K, while its present radius of 7.0108 m will increase to 1.51011 m (which is the current Earth-sun distance). Calculate the ratio of the total power emitted by the sun in its red giant stage to its present power.
The lowest mass for a true star is 1/12 the mass of the Sun. What is the luminosity of such a star based upon the mass-luminosity relationship?
