What happens to the core of a star after a planetary nebula occurs?
It becomes a white dwarf.
A teaspoonful of white dwarf material on Earth would weigh?
a few tons.
In the life cycle of a star what stage occurs immediately after red giant?
WHITE DWARF ;p
Is a stellar explosion a good definition for a supernova?
in lamen's terms probably.A supernova Type Ia occurs between two companion stars usually a large star and small companion white dwarf. What happens is that the dwarf star accretes (takes away) stellar material from the larger star. After this happens for a long time the amount of material becomes more and more dense (the star will actually become smaller in radius) and hotter and hotter until the conditions are correct for a fusion reaction to occur. The process is much more complicated than my explanation, but basically after fusion occurs...boom.
How does a star turn into a white dwarf star?
A white dwarf is what stars like the Sun become after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel. Near the end of its nuclear burning stage, this type of star expels most of its outer material, creating a planetary nebula. Only the hot core of the star remains. This core becomes a very hot white dwarf, with a temperature exceeding 100,000 kelvin.
What stage occurs before a nova explodes?

Is the density of a white dwarf greater or less than material on earth?
millions of times grater
How much would 1 teaspoon of a white dwarf weigh?
A teaspoon (5ml) of white dwarf material would weigh about 6,500,000 grams or just over 7 metric tons.
What would 1 cubic centimeter of white dwarf star material weigh in kilograms?
About 907 Kilograms
