A teaspoon (5ml) of white dwarf material would weigh about 6,500,000 grams or just over 7 metric tons.
1 cubic centimeter of white dwarf star material would weigh about 1 ton or 1000 kilograms. This is because white dwarf material is incredibly dense due to its high gravitational pull.
A piece of a white dwarf the size of a sugar cube would weigh about as much as a hippopotamus. Assuming that you could lift the spoon that contained the sugar cube, I doubt the body would be very happy about that treat!
A teaspoonful of white dwarf material on Earth would weigh millions of tons due to its incredibly dense nature. White dwarfs have masses comparable to the Sun but are compressed into a volume roughly the size of Earth, resulting in an immense weight for even a small amount of material.
A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.
A teaspoon of a neutron star would weigh as much as a car due to its incredibly high density. Neutron stars are formed when the core of a massive star collapses under its own gravity during a supernova explosion, packing an immense amount of mass into a small volume. This results in a teaspoon of neutron star material being incredibly dense and heavy.
A teaspoon of material from a neutron star would weigh about 6 billion tons.
If a white dwarf gained enough mass to reach the 1.4 solar-mass white dwarf limit, it would undergo a catastrophic event known as a Type Ia supernova. This explosion would release a tremendous amount of energy and result in the complete destruction of the white dwarf.
you would weight about 6.4% of what you do on Earth.
Not exactly. A white dwarf would be hard to see from Earth, and Sirius is the brightest star from our point of view. Sirius has two components; one of them, Sirius B, is a white dwarf.
Before a white dwarf, a star would undergo the red giant phase. After a white dwarf, a star may end its life cycle as a black dwarf, although no black dwarfs are currently known to exist in the universe due to the long timescales required for a white dwarf to cool down.
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
Yes. The white dwarf would be a bit bigger than the Earth.
