Which star is the hottest red dwarf or white dwarf?

A white dwarf is the remnant of a star that has lost most of it mass. When it is formed it is very hot indeed but, as it now has insufficient mas to carry on fusion, it begins to cool down. For objects as massive as stars, even dwarfs, this cooling down takes a long time but eventually a white dwarf will cool down completely and become a black dwarf. Red dwarfs are never very hot as they have barely sufficient mass to effect fusion so don't do it very vigorously. However the fact that they go about their fusion slowly means they can maintain their meager temperatures for a long long time indeed. Some red dwarfs are older than the calculated age of the universe. (which is an interesting paradox) a nova What this person^^^^^ is really trying to say is that : The hottest star is white dwarf.


What star is the sun classified as?

Our Sun's classification, based on spectral class, is a main sequence G2V star. It designated as a yellow dwarf star, it appears white from space, but yellow on earth due to scattering of the blue spectrum in our atmosphere. G2 indicates its surface temperature of approximately 5778 K (5505 °C), and V indicates that the Sun, like most stars, is a main sequence star.

When a white dwarf star no longer emits energy what does it become?

When a white dwarf star no longer emits energy, it becomes a black dwarf. Black dwarfs are theoretical end points of stellar evolution where all nuclear reactions have ceased, and the star has cooled down to the background temperature of the universe.


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.
