StellarEvolution
Stellar evolution refers to the process by which a star changes over the course of its lifetime. This includes the formation, life cycle, and eventual demise of stars, as they transform from protostars to main sequence stars, red giants, and eventually white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. Factors influencing stellar evolution include the star's mass, composition, and age, leading to variations in size, temperature, luminosity, and eventual fate. This continuous cycle of birth, evolution, and death is fundamental to understanding the life cycle of stars in the universe.
