1 Star = 3 × (Mass of the Sun)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The quantity at which the speed of formation of the star depends is called the "star formation rate".
  • Astronomers estimate that in our Galaxy the star formation rate is about 3 solar masses per year
  • According to "solar mass per year" the mass of interstellar gas and dust related to about 3 times the mass of the Sun goes into stars each year).
  • However, the whole of the mass doesn't necessarily go in the formation of 1 star.
