Low mass stars have a longer lifespan compared to high mass stars and can produce chemical elements up to iron on the periodic table
Explanation:
- The smallest, coolest, & dimmest "Main Sequence" stars and red, brown, or orange, in color are the low mass stars (stars that have masses lesser than half of the Sun's mass ). The Low mass stars slowly use their hydrogen fuel and therefore have long lives
- A low mass star retains its main hydrogen throughout its lifespan and converts it into helium. The core gradually shrinks and heats up and the star slowly becomes luminous. Nuclear fusion ultimately uses all the hydrogen at the core of the star.
- Helium fusion can produce carbon in low mass stars. After some point of time the fusion reactions would create iron in the star's core & when this happens the stars have only few minutes to live
