when we draw a mass-time graph of a star in x-axis as time and y-axis as mass whether it will be linear or not?

The mass of a star can be measured by observing its orbital motion with other bodies, such as planets or companion stars. The strength of the gravitational force between the star and these bodies can be used to calculate the star's mass.
Yes, the mass of a star can change over time through processes such as accretion (gaining mass from surrounding materials) or mass loss through stellar winds.
The mass of a star determines its size, luminosity, and lifespan. It also affects its internal structure and the type of nuclear reactions occurring within the star.
The mass of a star and its temperature are directly related through the star's internal pressure and gravity. Higher mass stars have hotter temperatures due to the stronger gravitational force compressing the core and increasing the rate of nuclear fusion.
Yes, using various astronomical techniques such as spectroscopy, astrometry, and photometry, we can accurately determine the mass of a star from Earth.
