Explain why a high-mass star has a much shorter lifespan than a low-mass star despite the fact
that a high-mass star has much more hydrogen (fuel) to burn. Don't forget that an explanation
needs to answer how and whĂ, something happens. Be sure to include the following in your
explanation:
a. How gravity leads to nuclear fusion
b. How the rate of fusion in a high mass star compares to the rate of fusion in a low mass
star
c. Why a high-mass star has a much shorter lifespan than a low-mass star despite the fact
that a high-mass star has much more hydrogen (fuel) to burn
