A white dwarf dies when it can no longer sustain nuclear fusion and cools down to a low temperature over billions of years. Eventually, it may shed its remaining outer layers, leading to the formation of a planetary nebula, while the core becomes a cold, inert stellar remnant known as a black dwarf. However, the universe is not old enough for any black dwarfs to exist yet, as this process takes longer than the current age of the universe.
What else can I help you with?
When does a white dwarf die?
A white dwarf does not die in the traditional sense as it is already the end stage of a low-mass star's life cycle. However, over a very long period of time (trillions of years), a white dwarf will cool and fade away, eventually becoming a black dwarf.
The sun will eventually end up as a?
white dwarf 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.
What is the radius of a white dwarf with a mass of 1.5 solar units?
Such a white dwarf could not exist. Above 1.4 solar masses a white dwarf will collapse to form a neutron star.
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.
How will a small star die out?

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.
Are white dwarf stars always white?
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
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.
