What happens to the rate of hydrogen consumption in the core of a massive star?
The rate of hydrogen consumption in the core of a massive star is high and finishes very soon due to its large size and mass.
What is the relationship between the size of a star and its lifespan?
The larger the size (more mass) of a star, the relatively shorter its lifespan compared to a smaller size (less mass) star.
What is the stage called when the core of a massive star collapses after full consumption of hydrogen?
The stage is called Super Giant, where the core becomes 1000 times greater than its actual size.
What happens when a Super Giant star cannot tolerate the pressure of its outer layers?
When a Super Giant star cannot tolerate the pressure of its outer layers, a stage is reached when its outer layers collapse inward with a tremendous explosion.
