Star Properties

Star properties refer to characteristics such as brightness, size, temperature, composition, and lifespan that define a star. Brightness indicates how much light a star emits, while size and temperature determine its color and appearance. Composition reveals the elements present inside the star, affecting its evolution. The star's lifespan depends on its mass and fuel consumption, with larger stars burning out faster. These properties help astronomers classify stars into types like dwarfs or giants and understand their life cycles, contributing to our knowledge of stellar behavior and the universe's evolution.
