How is a dwarf star different from black hole?

Answer 1

No they are not the same thing. A black hole is where a star has collapsed in on itself and the resulting gravity acts as sort of a well that anything near it will be pulled into. Wormhole is more of a Science Fiction thing. It is basically where to parts of space are connected together with a "tunnel" that is outside of space itself.

Answer:In some cases, yes, depending on who you talk to and which theory is being discussed. For those who call a blackhole a literal hole in 4 dimensions, a hole has 2 sides - therefore if there is only one universe, that hole has to have another side 'somewhere' - so the blackhole and it's partner (maybe another blackhole, maybe a whitehole) have to connect ocross our 4 dimensional universe.

For those who don't see a blackhole as a hole, but a large dent in spacetime, no a blackhole is not part of a wormhole or tunnel.

Answer 2

A black hole and a black dwarf have some similarities but they are not the same.Black holes can suck anything up.Black dwarfs cant do that.They are just stars.A black hole is created when a massive star dies.so yeah,similarities but not the same.

Answer 3

A black dwarf is a type of star,usually smaller than other stars. A black hole is the after math of an exploded star that collapsed under its own gravity. Now the gravity pulls everything in its reach towards it, even light. Also in the center of galaxies a massive black hole is there, and if the black hole becomes too powerful, it will not only pull in light but distort it too.

Answer 4

There are two basic differences:

1. A dwarf star has volume. A black hole does not.

2. Light can escape from a dwarf star. Light cannot escape from a black hole.

Answer 5

A black hole is the stellar remnant of a star that went supernova.
