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 else can I help you with?
The sun will eventually end up as a?
white dwarf star
What type of star is dschubba?
Dschubba is a binary star system with two stars: a blue star and a white dwarf star. The blue star is the primary star and the white dwarf is the secondary star.
Is a white dwarf smaller than a red dwarf?
Yes, far smaller. A red dwarf is a whole star in and of itself. A white dwarf is the collapsed remnant of the core of a low-to medium mass star. A white dwarf may be about the size of Earth.
Which is the correct order - white dwarf or red?
The correct order is red giant followed by white dwarf. A red giant is a stage in the life cycle of a star where it has expanded and cooled. After the red giant phase, the star sheds its outer layers and the core collapses to form a white dwarf.
Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?
Yes, a star of low to medium mass, like the sun, will eventually turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle. This occurs after the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and shed its outer layers.
What causes a giant star to turn into a white dwarf?
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
What will the sun turn into when it blows up?
It will turn into a white dwarf star, after being a red giant star.
When the sun dies what kind of star will it be?
It will first become a red giant, then turn into a white dwarf and in billions and billions of years it will become a black dwarf.
Is a dwarf star and a white dwarf the same thing?
No. A dwarf star is a small star. A white dwarf is just one particular type of dwarf star, but there are other types.
Is the white dwarf the biggest star?
No a white dwarf is a small compact 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.
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.
What happens after a large star like vv cephie turn into?
After a large star like vv cephie there is a white dwarf.
What do you think the difference is between a black dwarf and a supernova explosion?
A black dwarf is a dead white dwarf. By dead, I mean a star that no longer burns. A white dwarf, in turn, is a dead "moderate" star (a star like our sun). So a black dwarf is a star that's died twice, with mass not much higher or probably lower than that of our sun. A supernova, is the "death" of a star that's really huge. By huge, I mean it has a mass that's considerably higher than that of our sun. That kind of star doesn't turn into a white dwarf. Rather, it becomes either a neutron star (pulsar or non-pulsar) or a black hole.
Is white dwarf a massive star?
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
What will the star turn into when it dies?
Depending on the mass of whatever is left over of a star, it can turn into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or - in the case of the most massive stars - a black hole.
A good sentence for white dwarf?
In 5 billion years time, our Sun will turn into a white dwarf.
