Suppose the Sun were to shrink to 50% of its present diameter. How would the gravitational energy released during that contraction compare with the gravitational energy released during the Sun’s contraction to its present diameter?
4

Star A is 3 times as massive and 60 times as luminous as star B. How do the lifetimes of the two stars compare?
