The feature that determines the endpoint of a star in stellar evolution is the initial mass of the gas and dust that forms the star. If the initial mass is between 0.1 and 1.4 solar masses, the end result of solar evolution will be a white dwarf. If the initial mass is between 1.4 and 8 solar masses, the end result of solar evolution will be a neutron star. Finally, if the initial mass is greater than 8 solar masses, the end result will be a black hole. simplify to a short sentence
