How is it possinle for whit dwarfs to have a lower luminosity than the sun even though the sun is much cooler than the white dwarf?

Luminosity will also depend on the surface area. The Sun has about 10,000 times the surface area of a typical white dwarf.

How is it possible for white dwarfs of have a lower luminosity than the sun even though the sun is much cooler than the white dwarfs?
Because luminosity is a measure of brightness over distance. Also white dwarfs are a hundred times smaller than the Sun. Most white dwarfs are a long way away and thus are difficult to see.
What is the phobia of dwarfs?
I think it's dwarf phobia not sure though

Which is better netherland dwarf or dwarf lop?
i would say personally netherland dwarf- if your looking for an easy rabbit to tame then choose dwarf lop because it is a lot of hard work to tame a netherland dwarf . Netherland dwarfs though are very pretty more pretty then dwarf lops. Netherland dwarfs are able to look after themselves and make sure that they dont get flystrike. Netherland dwarfs are very shy and a bit aggressive. I dont know much about dwarfs lops though sorry but i would suggest you look at a RSPB rabbit book.
Will blowing up the sun make the summer cooler?
Yes, considerably cooler. Though I think the consequences of blowing up the sun would outweigh the benefits.
Why do white dwarfs have low luminosity?
even though a white dwarf may burn hot, it's size is what limits it's luminosity. Here is one way to look at it: Imagine a white dwarf with the mass of our sun. Our sun's surface temp is right around 5,770K and weighs one solar mass. Now, this imaginary white dwarf would be about the size of the earth and have a surface temp of around 10,000K - 11,000K. This white dwarf would have a surface area 1/333,000 of the sun. A white dwarf of this size is about average and as you can imagine, has very little room to put out energy compared to other solar masses.
Trimmed armor in runescape better?
no its not,just looks cooler same as normal though =)
Why do sunspot appear in dark?
Because they are cooler than the rest of sun's surface.Even though the spots are cooler,They are still 6000 degrees.The other surface of sun is 10000 degrees.

white dwarf
Is the sun a small star?
It has been said though it is not true, even though the sun falls mid way between the biggest and smallest of it's type there are so many white dwarfs that the sun is actually in the top 10% of the largest stars in this part of the galaxy, with that being said there are giants, supergiants, sub-giants, and dwarfs our Sun is classified as a dwarf.
What is dark respiration?
Where I come from, we call it "snoring," though "dark respiration" is definitely a cooler descriptor.
