size and color
A red giant is old to middle aged star and a white dwarf is dead star so the relationship is they are both are dead and alive.
their colour is one thing but a black dwarf originates from a white dwarf
White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova
The correct order is red giant followed by white dwarf. A red giant is a stage in the life cycle of a star where it has expanded and cooled. After the red giant phase, the star sheds its outer layers and the core collapses to form a white dwarf.
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
A giant star is a dying star that expanded, and the core shrinks are the same time. When the shell of the giant star drift into space as planetary nebula, the core became a white dwarf. The white dwarf is made from the core of the giant star.
A stars evolution. Our Sun will go yellow dwarf -> red giant -> white dwarf -> black dwarf.
The sun will be a red giant for about 1 billion years before transitioning into a white dwarf.
A white dwarf is the core of a dead star. As the star runs out of fuel, it expands into a red giant, as the shell of the red giant became a planetary nebula, and the core shrinks and became a white dwarf.
Before a white dwarf, a star would undergo the red giant phase. After a white dwarf, a star may end its life cycle as a black dwarf, although no black dwarfs are currently known to exist in the universe due to the long timescales required for a white dwarf to cool down.
The correct order of these stellar evolutionary stages is main sequence, red giant, white dwarf. A star begins its life on the main sequence where it fuses hydrogen into helium. As it runs out of fuel, it expands into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and collapsing into a white dwarf.
No, Pollux is not a white dwarf star. It is an orange giant star that is nearing the end of its life cycle. White dwarfs are remnants of stars like the Sun after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
