What else can I help you with?
Which is bigger a neutron star or a white dwarf?
A white dwarf is much larger than a neutron star.
Is the sun larger than a white dwarf?
YES. A typical white dwarf star is only a bit bigger than the Earth.
What size is a white dwarf star?
Generally, they are not much bigger than the Earth.
How can a star that has more mass than the sun be smaller than your sun?
The obvious reason is that the specific star has bigger density compared with the Sun. For example, that star could be a "white dwarf star". A white dwarf mostly contains "electron degenerate matter", which is very dense. A white dwarf is a small dense star.
Is a dwarf star bigger than your sun?
Depends what type of dwarf star. - Our Sun is a yellow dwarf.
What is the star that is bigger than the sun called?
Many stars are bigger than the sun. In fact the sun is called a yellow dwarf, or a G dwarf star meaning it is relatively small (i.e. a dwarf) compared to the "average star" in our galaxy.
Is a white dwarf bigger than a main sequence?
No, a white dwarf is generally smaller than a main sequence star because it is the remnant core of a star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed. Main sequence stars are actively undergoing nuclear fusion and are typically larger in size.
Is the moon smaller than a 1 solar mass white dwarf?
Yes. The white dwarf would be a bit bigger than the Earth.
Is a white dwarf smaller than a red dwarf?
Yes, far smaller. A red dwarf is a whole star in and of itself. A white dwarf is the collapsed remnant of the core of a low-to medium mass star. A white dwarf may be about the size of Earth.
If a star dies what happens?
it depends on the mass. If the star is small and it dies then it will turn into a red giant then a white dwarf. But if the star has enough mass and is bigger than any other star then it will collapse and turn into a black hole.
Is betelgeuse hotter than a white dwarf?
No, the surface temperature of Betelgeuse is colder than the temperature of a white dwarf, the white dwarf is the hot core of a dead star. Also, red stars are always colder than white stars.
Is a white dwarf older the a red dwarf?
Not necessarily. A white dwarf is simply the remains of a low to medium mass star that has died. A red dwarf is a low mass star. Since red dwarfs last longer than medium mass stars, one could easily be older than a white dwarf.
