About 750 million years.
The surface temperature of the Pollux star is 4,500 K
Pollux is a star in the constellation of Gemini, approximately 34 light-years away from Earth. It is not a galaxy, but rather a binary star system consisting of a bright giant star and a fainter companion star.
Pollux is significantly more massive than the Sun and is therefore fairly young (massive stars don't live to be old). It's probably somewhere in the vicinity of three-quarters of a billion years old.
Vega is hotter than Pollux. Vega is a high-temperature class A star, while Pollux is a cooler class K star. This difference in temperature is reflected in their respective colors, with Vega appearing bluish-white and Pollux appearing reddish-orange.
I agree with your correspondent 'Wiki User'', However, from Classical Greece, Pollux was one of a pair of twins. The other twin was 'Castor'. You will find both stars , Castor & Pollux, in the constellation of Gemini, the heavenly twins.
The Pollux Star is located in the Beta Geminorum

The beta star of Gemini is Pollux. The two bright stars of Gemini are Castor and Pollux. Although Pollux is the brightest star in Gemini, Castor was named alpha-Gemini (despite being second brightest), therefore, Pollux is beta-Gemini. Pollux is the one more southerly and easterly.
Pollux is about 3.1957665 × 1014 kilometres from us

No, Pollux is not a white dwarf star. It is an orange giant star that is nearing the end of its life cycle. White dwarfs are remnants of stars like the Sun after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.

Pollux, the head of the more easterly of the two twins (who is also named Pollux). Interestingly (and somewhat confusingly for people who think the designations run in order of brightness), Pollux is actually Beta Geminorum, not Alpha Geminorum (aka Castor).
