The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.
There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.
Neutron stars and white dwarfs are both remnants of dead stars, but neutron stars are much denser and have stronger gravitational forces compared to white dwarfs. Both objects are composed mostly of degenerate matter, but neutron stars are made up of neutrons while white dwarfs are made up of electrons.
Depending on their initial mass, stars can become white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes after they die. The type of remnant left behind is determined by the mass of the star and the processes that occur during its death.
The smallest stars known are red dwarfs, which typically have masses less than half that of our Sun. These stars are the most common in the universe and can be as small as about 8% of the mass of the Sun. Despite their small size, red dwarfs can have long lifespans, burning steadily for billions of years.
No. Stars become white dwarfs after dying.
Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.
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
A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.
No. Stars such as our sun become white dwarfs. Only stars 8-10 times the mass of the sun or more become neutron stars.
No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
No. Blue stars will generally leave behind neutron stars or black holes.

their colour is one thing but a black dwarf originates from a white dwarf
No, low mass stars do not become neutron stars. Low mass stars like the Sun end their lives as white dwarfs. Medium mass stars can evolve into neutron stars, but they must first go through the supernova stage to shed their outer layers and leave behind a dense core of neutrons.
Black holes, neutron stars, and the white dwarfs
When fusion stops in a star it will start to fuse helium and will become a red giant.
