How does the life of a high mass star differ from the sun's life?

Geography

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.)

tino4ka555 [31]
I agree on that. it's not like there is completely no force of gravity acting on them (I mean if they're still around the earth) , it's that it's so little that they can't even notice it. they'll float around and they seems like they have no weight. this is called weightlessness.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Geostrophic wind D) flows parallel to contour lines of upper-air pressure .

Explanation:

Geostrophic wind -

Air parcel generally moves from higher pressure to lower pressure due to pressure gradient force and left or right deflection due to coriolis force. When this deflection takes place a time comes when pressure gradient force and coriolis force becomes equal and the air parcel moves parallel to isobar then the winds are called geostrophic winds .
