... is, the more rapidly it exhausts its hydrogen supply. For instance , the expected lifetime of a star ten times more massive than the Sun is about ten million (10 000 000) years, compared to the ten thousand million (10 000 000 000) years that a star like the Sun lives. Thus, high-mass stars burn hot ...
