Yes. The white dwarf would be a bit bigger than the Earth.
The typical size of a white dwarf is about the size of Earth, which is approximately 0.008 solar radii. White dwarfs are very dense objects that have collapsed from the remnants of low to medium mass stars.
Jupiter is far larger than the other two. White dwarfs can be treated as Fermi gasses, and have the interesting property that as their mass increases their radius decreases. So the smallest is actually the 1.2 solar mass white dwarf.
A white dwarf could be smaller or bigger than the moon since it's size varies depending on the mass of the white dwarf. Since the mass of the moon is 7.347 x 1022 kg and the mass of Pluto is 1.31×1022 kg the size of a white dwarf is also smaller or bigger than Pluto depending on it's mass.
Such a white dwarf could not exist. Above 1.4 solar masses a white dwarf will collapse to form a neutron star.
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.
1 solar mass black hole (smallest) 1 solar mass white dwarf 1 solar mass star 1.5 solar mass neutron star (largest)
When the mass of a white dwarf increases, its size decreases. This is because the increased mass causes the white dwarf to contract under its own gravity, making it smaller and denser.
The sun is still converting hydrogen into helium and on up the periodic table. Basically the sun is in static equillibrium between expansion and contraction due to gravity. When a sun reaches the white dward stage it no longer has the gravitational force to undergo the fusion of hydrogen into helium ect
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.
Answer is 1
A neutron star is smaller, but has a greater mass. A typical white dwarf is about the size of a terrestrial planet. A typical neutron star is a few miles across.
If the mass of a white dwarf reaches the 1.4 solar mass limit, it will no longer be able to support itself against gravity through electron degeneracy pressure. This will trigger a runaway fusion reaction of carbon and oxygen, leading to a supernova explosion known as a Type Ia supernova.
