Low mass stars with
an original mass of less than 8 times the sun (8 solar masses) will
become Planetary Nebula. The remnant state of these stars is a white
dwarf.
High mass stars containing more
than 8 solar masses will explode violently as a supernova. The remnant
state of these stars is a neutron star or black hole.
Most Stars are Low Mass Therefore, most stars
become PN.
