ANY star will spin; you can't avoid it from having SOME spin.A "degenerate star" would probably refer to one that is made up of degenerate matter. That can either be a white dwarf, or a neutron star.

How does the the mass and size of a white dwarf compare with the mass and size of the sun?

A white dwarf, also called a degenerate 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.


What causes the White Dwarf in space?

The White Dwarf in space is also called a degenerate dwarf which is a stellar remnant composed mostly of electron degenerate matter. This can happen in binary pairs where the white dwarf rips matter from the larger star and eventually becomes unstable and it collapses in on itself.
