Massive and average stars evolve at about the same speed. Average stars evolve more quickly than massive stars. Average stars evolve more quickly than massive stars. Massive stars evolve more slowly than average stars. Massive stars evolve more slowly than average stars. Massive stars evolve more quickly than average stars. Massive stars evolve more quickly than average stars. Average stars evolve more slowly than massive stars

Answer 1

Based on the principles of stellar evolution, the correct statements are:

1. **Massive stars evolve more quickly than average stars.**
2. **Average stars evolve more slowly than massive stars.**

Massive stars have shorter lifespans compared to average stars (like our Sun) because they burn through their nuclear fuel at a much faster rate.
