Best Answer

stars are not always white

there are many different types of star for example:

Black Dwarf

Red Giant

White Dwarf

Blue Giant

Neutron

they are all varying colors because of the configurations of gas and energy of particals.

however 97% of our galaxy's stars are the fabled white dwarf these are white because they are expelling there entire energy at once, the white dwarf is the final stage of a stars life, aside from the purely theoretical black dwarf
