What stage follows the white dwarf stage of star development red giant prostar neutron black dwarf?
The Neutron stage follows the White Dwarf stage of star development.
What is a star formed from a white dwarf that has lost its energy?
A white dwarf is the last stage of 97% of star evolution. A white dwarf will eventually cool down, and become a "black dwarf". Black dwarves are not expected to exist yet; to cool down to that level, it would take longer than the current age of the Universe.
White Dwarf is one of the final stages in?
A stars evolution. Our Sun will go yellow dwarf -> red giant -> white dwarf -> black dwarf.
What is the next stage after The white dwarf stage?
the next stage of a white dwarf is the black dwarf which is form when the degenerate electron slowly cools down by thermal radiation but the time required for a white dwarf to become a black dwarf is bigger than the current age of universe so the evidence of a black dwarf isn't found yet
How does a white dwarf differ from a black hole?
A white dwarf is the last stage of stellar evolution for stars with masses similar to our Sun. A black hole, on the other hand, is the last stage of stellar evolution for stars having very large masses, many times greater than that of the Sun. Consequently, very few stars end up as black holes. Additionally, black holes have an escape velocity greater than the speed of light, while a white dwarf's escape velocity is less than the speed of light.
The point in stellar evolution when a star has used up all its fuel and is radiating away its remaining thermal energy as light?
White dwarf stage. Note that not all stars reach this stage. Some stars experience runaway criticality and go supernova. Also, white dwarf stars in binary systems can still go nova if they are acquiring hydrogen from their partner.
After what evolutionary stage does a star become a white dwarf?
The red giant stage, where a star like our sun swells to a much larger size. Then it collapses into a white dwarf.
What is a white dawrf?
A white dwarf is a star that is dying and is in its final evolutionary stage.
What is the final stage in the suns cycle life?
White Dwarf then Black Dwarf=Dead Star
What stage occurs after the red giant?
white dwarf/nova
What is a final stage of a sun like star?
white dwarf
What stage occurs before a nova explodes?
white dwarf
