5 All stars follow the same basic series of steps in their lives: Gas Cloud  Main Sequence  Red Giant  (Planetary Nebula or Supernova)  Remnant. How long a star lasts in each stage, whether a planetary nebula forms or a spectacular supernova occurs, and what type of remnant will form depends on the initial mass of the star. Evolution of stars depends on their mass (at start of fusion only- Zero Main Sequence) with a tiny bit of dependence on chemical composition. (why ?)- Type I(young-our Sun) and type II (old) stars
