Since white dwarf, like all stars, are made up of plasma (ionized gas), they have no craters on their surfaces.

Is white dwarf a star?

Many stars are white dwarfs.


Why is a star white?

stars are not always white there are many different types of star for example: Black Dwarf Red Giant White Dwarf Blue Giant Neutron they are all varying colors because of the configurations of gas and energy of particals. however 97% of our galaxy's stars are the fabled white dwarf these are white because they are expelling there entire energy at once, the white dwarf is the final stage of a stars life, aside from the purely theoretical black dwarf


Why are thre so many dwarf stars - red and white - among the nearest stars but none among the brightest stars?

Because dwarf stars aren't very bright. They are too SMALL to be especially bright, for one thing.


How many stars are there in a dwarf planet?

None. No planet or dwarf planet contains stars.


Is the density of a neutron star about the same density as a white dwarf?

No, the density of a neutron star is much higher than that of a white dwarf. Neutron stars are composed mostly of densely packed neutrons, while white dwarfs are made of electron-degenerate matter. Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe.


How many stars does an average dwarf galaxy contain?

An average dwarf galaxy contains few as ten million (107) stars.


How does a white dwarf differ from a black hole?

A white dwarf is the last stage of stellar evolution for stars with masses similar to our Sun. A black hole, on the other hand, is the last stage of stellar evolution for stars having very large masses, many times greater than that of the Sun. Consequently, very few stars end up as black holes. Additionally, black holes have an escape velocity greater than the speed of light, while a white dwarf's escape velocity is less than the speed of light.


Where is the Red Dwarf Star?

There are many red dwarf stars in the universe. They are not most common type of star.


How many stars are there in a dwarf galaxy?

at least 10 billion.


What are the differences between a neutron star and a white dwarf?

According to stellar classification [See Link] the proportion of Stars in category O,B those massive enough to be categorised as possible candidates for a black hole, number less than 0.13% while candidates for white dwarfs, category G,K, comprise about 20% of all known stars.{Reinsertion of answerman001 deleted text}This is because white dwarf stars are caused by the sides of a star pulling inward. However, a black hole is caused when a massive star completely collapses inward upon itself, creating a void of sorts, where instead of giving off light and power, it is blank and gives off nothing(black holes do NOT suck as many people believe). As massive stars are less likely to occur than medium and small- sized stars because of the amount of matter needed to make them, therefore we have many more white dwarf stars than we have black holes.I have already answered this question but apperantly someone has deleted it so o.k. it is because most stars are medium sized, extremely condensed, or just plain small, while black holes need stars that are super-sized, or have a few medium stars in close proximaty(is someone could just correct those mistakes i would but i need to watch what i put down ty)More stars have a longer main sequence (low mass stars), which don't swell up to supergiants, they only swell to giants. Low mass stars are more common, and they end up as white dwarfs.


How many stars on the galaxies?

A dwarf galaxy can have a few million stars; a huge galaxy can have a trillion stars or more.


Can white dwarfs be used to test big bang theory?

MANY years ago, it was believed that the oldest white dwarf stars were older than the derived age of the Universe. This is now known to be false.
