Is a white dwarf star is one that does not have fuel to make is own energy?

That's called a "black dwarf". Such objects are hypothetical; they are not expected to exist yet, since it takes a white dwarf longer, to cool down to a black dwarf, than the current age of the Universe.

∙ 12y agoOnce a White dwarf has called over trillions of years, it is though that it would eventually become a black dwarf. It is thought that there might not be any in existence yet as the universe it too young.

∙ 14y agoIn a way yes, this is true. A white dwarf star is a low mass star the size of our Sun or a little bit larger that has used up all of its nuclear fuel (so is no longer generating new heat internally) and is now slowly cooling down.
In some cases where a white dwarf is in a binary system with another star, it can steal gas form its neighbor and periodically reignite to form a nova or if it steals too much mass it can explode as a type 1a supernova.

∙ 14y agoYes; but that is not all. A white dwarf is one that used to make its own energy, but it now has no more fuel left. Also, it is a star up to a certain mass limit; above that limit, it will convert to a much denser object: a neutron star.

∙ 13y agoYes, that is correct. A white dwarf has run out of fuel - it used it up.

∙ 14y agoThis is just a theory but scientist say they become black dwarfs.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, the two are quite different things. A white dwarf that has stopped radiating is called a black dwarf; these are not expected to exist yet (the Universe is too young).
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIf a White Dwarf seemingly disappears, this could mean a variety of things, such as an object obscuring it from view (planet, moon, dust, asteroid, etc.)

∙ 13y agoYes, that is correct. A white dwarf has run out of fuel - it used it up.

What is one feature of black fuel effect lumps which make them efficient at transferring energy?
Im a boss
How does the fuel source solar energy make energy?
The source of solar energy is the sun. The sun contains hydrogen, which by fusion, is converted to helium. The fusion reaction gives off solar energy. See related link.
When the flashlight is turned on electrical energy is changed to which type of energy?
Heat to make the filament glow white hot and emit light (electromagnetic radiation).
2 reasons why biomass energy is not good energy source?
One reason why biomass energy is not a good energy source is that a large amount of land is need to create enough electricity to make biomass efficient. Another reason is that it can consume more fuel.
What do nuclear energy and fossil fuel have in common?
They are hydrocarbons which burn with oxygen
Can a white dwarf that has no fuel make its own energy?
No. The energy of a white dwarf is simply residual heat.

When a red dwarf dies does it make a nebula?
Yes, but it can also make a black hole or a white dwarf.
Carbon and what other element make up a white dwarf?
A white dwarf is largely mad up of carbon and oxygen.
Was their Snow White and female dwarf Elvis movie?
My answer is: Snow is white as it falls and becomes yellow :) or gray or brown or black. Elvis is not female nor a dwarf, but he did make movies. Hope answer movie this question snow white.
What kind of fuel do you need to make thermal energy?
Any fuel will do.

yes
What do you burn to make biomass energy?
trash and fuel
Can a white dwarf kill you?
A white dwarf is the remnant of a star like our sun which forms when the stars runs out of elements to fuse. As such it will not kill you directly but if you were on the earth then you would freeze to death because the sun would no longer be producing the amount of heat that it does now.There are however situation where a white dwarf could kill you directly. When a white dwarf is in orbit round a normal star in a binary system, it is possible for the white dwarf to 'steal' gas from its companion. This hydrogen gas can accumulate on the what dwarf's surface and may periodically explode as a 'nova'. If, over time, enough material is stolen to make the white dwarf heavier than 1.4 solar masses (the Chandrasekhar limit), it will then explode as a type 1a 'super nova' which will destroy the white dwarf completely. If you were on a planet orbiting a star near such an explosion, it would kill you.
