The definitions: The rock is a naturally and a solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. For example, the Earth's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rocks.

And now: The mineral<span> is a naturally substance that is solid and inorganic representable by a chemical formula</span><span> and has an ordered </span>atomic structure.

So, the difference between rocks and minerals is: 

The mineral is different from arock, which can be an aggregate of minerals or non-minerals and does not have a specific chemical composition.

How does the life of a high mass star differ from the sun's life?
valentinak56 [21]
High mass stars are far more massive than the sun, and therefore have a much larger gravitational impact. A star of 100 solar masses (100x larger than the sun) has a much shorter life than that of the sun because the forces that cause the star to expand and "burn" have to work harder to overcome the much larger gradational impact. While the sun has a life span of approximately 8 billion years; the life of a red giant of 100 solar masses would be at best a few hundred million years because gravity will overcome the counteracting force of fusion. (resulting in a supernova, black hole, white dwarf, or other astronomical anomaly.)
