What characteristic of K-stars reduces the intensity of destructive stellar events compared to M-dwarfs?
Answer
They are generally less prone to intense, high-energy flares
The environment around K-type stars is generally less prone to the intense, high-energy flares that plague smaller, magnetically turbulent M-dwarfs.
