Several times smaller than our Sun. Details vary, depending on the type of dwarf star (a red dwarf and a white dwarf are quite different things), and the exact mass.

∙ 11y agoSmaller than a regular star. Please note that there are different types of stars called "dwarf star", with quite different sizes: red dwarves, white dwarves, brown dwarves, white dwarves, and the hypothetical black dwarves (which are not expected to currently exist). White dwarves (and black dwarves) are the smallest of these, with a size about as big as our Moon.

A white dwarf is very small as stars go; comparable in size to a small planet such as Earth.
How small is a yellow dwarf?
The Sun is a classed as a yellow dwarf. That's a typical size for these stars. The term dwarf is a bit misleading here. The Sun is much larger than a red dwarf star, for example.
Is a white dwarf considered large or small star?
A white dwarf is very small as stars go; comparable in size to a small planet such as Earth.
How do you explain what the differences are between main sequence stars white dwarf stars and supergiant stars?
A star on "main sequence" is a period in a stars evolution.A white dwarf is a stellar remainA supergiant star is the size of a very big star.So they are completely different and not even related.

dwarf stars -Sydney-
Are dwarf stars black holes?
no, dwarf stars don't have enough mass
Stars of average size is called?
An average star like our own Sun is called a yellow dwarf.
Is sun about the size of all-stars?
No, the sun is bigger than the average star.Answer:The sun is a main sequence yellow dwarf star - "dwarf" indicates that it's on the bottom end of the stellar size range. The relative size is shown at the link.Even though it's quite small compared to the largest stars, it's still bigger than the average star, because there are so many very small and dim stars. The vast majority of stars are red dwarf stars with a mass of less than one-half of that of the Sun (down to about 0.075 solar masses)
