Which is bigger a neutron star or a white dwarf?
A white dwarf is much larger than a neutron star.
What is a cooled white dwarf star that is extremely dense?
A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.
What would be the size order of the astronomical objects Moon Neutron star White dwarf star and Galaxy?
Among the smallest astronomical objects is the neutron star, which is smaller than Earth's Moon, but larger than some. Next would be our Moon, followed by the shrunken White dwarf. Normal stars would then follow, and a galaxy is the largest , being a collection of millions or billions of stars. Neutron Star : as small as 20-24 km Moons : for Earth, 3400 km in diameter White Dwarf star : from about 5000 to 50000 km diameter Galaxies : 2000 to 100000 light-years across
What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
Can our sun become a neutron star?
No. it is not massive enough. When the sun dies it will become a white dwarf.
Which is bigger a neutron star or a white dwarf?
A white dwarf is much larger than a neutron star.
Is the density of a neutron star about the same density as a white dwarf?
No. A neutron star is many times denser than a white dwarf.
What forms when the stars colape?
It depends on the size of the star. You could end up with a White Dwarf, a Neutron Star, or a Black Hole with a White Dwarf coming from the smaller star and and a Black Hole coming from the largest star. Our Sun will leave a White Dwarf when it burns out.
What determines if a star will be a white dwarf or neutron star?
Its Mass.
Is a pulsar star a white dwarf?
No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
What is a cooled white dwarf star that is extremely dense?
A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.
What stage follows the white dwarf stage of star development red giant prostar neutron black dwarf?
The Neutron stage follows the White Dwarf stage of star development.
Is a plusar a white dwarf?
No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
What happens star's furnace stops?
Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.
What is left when a star exploads?
* white dwarf * neutron star * black hole
Star of life?
Nebule > Star > Red Giant > Red Dwarf > White Dwarf > Supernova > Neutron Star > Black Hole.
What does it depend on whether a star ends up as a neutron star or a white dwarf?
The mass of the star
