Why are all white dwarf about the same mass?
An object below a certain mass will never become a star in the first place; rather, it will remain a brown dwarf. And an object above a certain mass will have such a strong gravitation (once its fuel runs out) that it will collapse into a neutron star, instead of a white dwarf.
What is the color of old stars?
Red (giant, supergiant or dwarf), Blue (supergiant), white (dwarf), blueish white/gamma-ray (neutron star) or produce no light at all (black hole).
What star is the same size as the earth?
A white dwarf can be roughly the same size as Earth.
What stars is least bright 1 the sun 2 a blue super-giant 3 a white dwarf 4 a red giant?
3. White Dwarf Source: My teacher told me. I had the same worksheet with the same question for hw.
If star having the same mass of Earth's Sun is likely to become a?
Red giant - then a white dwarf.

Is a dwarf star and a white dwarf the same thing?
No. A dwarf star is a small star. A white dwarf is just one particular type of dwarf star, but there are other types.
What is the color of old stars?
Red (giant, supergiant or dwarf), Blue (supergiant), white (dwarf), blueish white/gamma-ray (neutron star) or produce no light at all (black hole).
What is the average density of a neutron star that has the same mass as the sun?
An object of one solar mass cannot become a neutron star.
How large is a black dwarf?
The same size as the white dwarf it was. See related question.
Is the event horizon mark the boundary which the density is roughly the same as that of the atomic nucleus?
no the density of a neutron star is the same as the atomic nucleus. there is nothing comparable in black holes.
What keeps white dwarf from collapsing under its own weight?
A white dwarf star, as well as any other stable variety of star,is held together by the pressure popularly known as "gravity".In the opposite direction, white dwarf stars are kept from collapsing completely by degeneracy pressure. Specifically, for white dwarf stars, it's electron degeneracy pressure, which arises from the fact that electrons are fermions and cannot all occupy the same energy state. For higher mass stars, the force of gravity is able to overcome this and push all the electrons into the ground state, and the star is supported by a different kind of degeneracy ... neutron degeneracy, which is the same thing but with neutrons ... and you get a neutron star. At even higher masses, even that isn't sufficient and the star collapses all the way into a black hole.
What star is the same size as the earth?
A white dwarf can be roughly the same size as Earth.
What is the density of 1 solar mass white dwarf that has a radius of 10.10.10.10 km?
Re the radius, what units are the 10.4 in.(A white dwarf is a small star composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. They are very dense; a white dwarf's mass is comparable to that of the Sun and its volume is comparable to that of the Earth).The density of matter in a white dwarf is, very roughly, 1,000,000 times greater than the average density of the Sun, or approximately 106 grams (1 tonne) per cubic centimeter.There is a limiting mass that no white dwarf can exceed called the Chandrasekhar limit, beyond which electron degeneracy pressure cannot support the object against collapse at which point it turns into a Type 1a supernova.
Is a pulsar denser than a neutron star?
The very definition of a black hole is a stellar body dense enough to have an escape velocity greater than that of light -- in other words, light that comes close enough to its event horizon will be trapped around it forever. If a star dies and it has enough mass to be compressed to a high-enough mass-to-radius-squared ratio to have such a high escape velocity, then a black hole will result. Otherwise, it will become a neutron star -- extremely dense, to be sure, but not dense enough to trap light, and therefore not as dense as a black hole.
Can winter white hamsters fit inside the habitrail ovo dwarf hamster habitat?
Why not, white winter hamsters are the same size possibly smaller than a dwarf hamster.
