Generally yes, however in some rare cases such as yellow supergiants, they will explode as a supernova and leave behind, either a black hole or a neutron star.

What does a white dwarf eventually become?

A black dwarf.


Can a mid sized star become a or a black dwarf?

Yes, a mid-sized star can eventually become a white dwarf or a black dwarf. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, the star sheds its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf. Over trillions of years, a white dwarf may cool and fade into a black dwarf, although this process would take longer than the current age of the universe.


Will the sun be a white dwarf for the rest of eternity?

No, the sun will eventually evolve into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and becoming a white dwarf. The white dwarf stage marks the end of its evolution, where it will slowly cool down over billions of years.


What does a red dwarf turn into after being a red dwarf?

A white dwarf. Basically, a red dwarf just gets cooler and cooler until it has consumed all of its hydrogen. Then it becomes a white dwarf star. It will then dissipate any remaining heat into space and eventually become a "black dwarf".


The sun will eventually end up as a?

white dwarf star


Does the sun eventually become a neutron star?

No, the sun will not become a neutron star. Neutron stars form from the remnants of massive stars that have undergone a supernova explosion. The sun is not massive enough to undergo this process and will instead evolve into a white dwarf.


Why would a white dwarf become a red dwarf?

A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.


Is white dwarf the final stage of a yellow star?

Yes, a white dwarf is the final stage of a low to medium mass star, which includes yellow stars like our Sun. During this stage, the star collapses and sheds its outer layers, leaving behind a dense, hot core that eventually cools and fades over billions of years.


White Dwarf is one of the final stages in?

A stars evolution. Our Sun will go yellow dwarf -> red giant -> white dwarf -> black dwarf.


Are white dwarf stars always white?

No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf


Will the sun become a white dwarf in the next 20 years?

No. It will become a white dwarf in about 7.5 billion years time.


What is a star formed from a white dwarf that has lost its energy?

A white dwarf is the last stage of 97% of star evolution. A white dwarf will eventually cool down, and become a "black dwarf". Black dwarves are not expected to exist yet; to cool down to that level, it would take longer than the current age of the Universe.
