Questions and Answers

Match the following stages of a high-mass star's life cycle to their descriptions:

Nebula = A cloud of gas and dust where stars are born. Protostar = A contracting, hot ball of gas that is not yet a star. Supergiant = A very large and luminous star, marking a late stage in a high-mass star's life. Supernova = A powerful explosion that marks the death of a high-mass star.

Match the following stages of a high-mass star's life cycle to the order in which they occur, starting with the earliest stage:

Nebula = 1 Protostar = 2 Supergiant = 3 Supernova = 4

Match the following stages of a high-mass star's life cycle to their characteristics:

Nebula = Contains the raw materials for star formation. Protostar = Begins to generate energy through nuclear fusion. Supergiant = Has a very short lifespan. Supernova = Releases a tremendous amount of energy and heavy elements.

Match the following stages of a high-mass star's life cycle to their appearance:

<p>Nebula = A diffuse, glowing cloud. Protostar = A bright, compact object. Supergiant = A very large, reddish star. Supernova = A brilliant, expanding shell of gas.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following stages of a high-mass star's life cycle to their likely fate:
