All white dwarfs do not have about the same mass. White dwarfs vary in mass because the stars they form from are not all the same mass.

Do all stars begin as white dwarfs?

No. Stars do not start as whit dwarfs. A white dwarf is the remnant of dead star.


Why are all white dwarf about the same mass?

An object below a certain mass will never become a star in the first place; rather, it will remain a brown dwarf. And an object above a certain mass will have such a strong gravitation (once its fuel runs out) that it will collapse into a neutron star, instead of a white dwarf.


What are white dwarfs and how do they form as remnants of low mass stars?

White dwarfs are dense, compact stars that form as remnants of low mass stars. When a low mass star runs out of fuel, it sheds its outer layers and the core collapses, leaving behind a hot, dense core known as a white dwarf. This core is made mostly of carbon and oxygen, and is supported by electron degeneracy pressure.


What do white dwarfs turn into in the end?

In the end, white dwarfs cool and fade over billions of years, eventually becoming what are known as black dwarfs. A black dwarf is a theoretical stellar remnant that has radiated away all its heat and light, effectively becoming cold and dark. However, the universe is not old enough for any black dwarfs to currently exist, as the cooling process takes longer than the current age of the universe.


Are white dwarfs brighter than supergiants?

Well, let me tell you, it's truly fascinating! White dwarfs are actually much smaller and cooler than supergiants, so they seem dimmer to our eyes. But despite their dimness, aren't they still shimmering orbs of beauty in the vast cosmos? Just remember, every star has its own brilliance and charm.

Are there more white dwarfs of more black holes?

I think white dwarfs. This is because they are much more low mass than black holes. White dwarfs are much more common in the universe than black holes, because we have only discovered a few black holes whereas we are aware of many white dwarfs.


What are facts about white dwarfs?

some facts about white dwarfs that obviously they do not exsist becasue theyre * dwarfs * oh k ? lolz . & they are white ._. thats all bye !


Where in space are white dwarfs located?

There are lots of white dwarfs; all the galaxies have them, including ours (the Milky Way).

Are there white dwarfs past Pluto?

Yes. All white dwarfs are orders of magnitude farther away than Pluto is.


Is this true or false brown dwarfs white dwarfs and neutron stars are all kept from collapsing by degeneracy pressure?

True. Brown dwarfs, white dwarfs, and neutron stars are all supported against collapse by degeneracy pressure, which is a quantum mechanical effect that arises when particles are packed densely together and cannot occupy the same quantum state. This pressure prevents further gravitational collapse and supports the star against its own gravity.

What happens to stars which are less massive than sun?

Stars with more than about 80% of the Sun's mass behave like the Sun. They should eventually become red giant stars then white dwarf stars. Stars with mass of between about 8% and 80% of the Sun's mass are red dwarf stars. Below that come the "brown dwarfs, which aren't really true stars at all. The red dwarfs cannot fuse helium, so they simply become "white dwarf" stars when they have used up all their hydrogen "fuel".


What was the first disney film ever made?

I think that would be Snow White and the Seven Dwarves which was made in 1937


How are white dwarfs neutron Stars and black holes alike?

No. White dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes are three different things. With the exception of some black holes, all are remnants of the cores of dead stars at various degrees of collapse. A white dwarf is the remains of a low to medium mass star consisting of atomic nuclei surrounded by electrons from electron shells that were crushed by gravity. White dwarfs can be up to about two times the mass of the sun and are a few thousand miles across, some about the same size as Earth. A neutron star is a remnant of a massive star that has collapsed even further. In a neutron star the atoms have been crushed so that neutrons are most of what remains. Neutron stars range from 2 to 3 times the mass of the sun and are roughly 12 to 25 miles across. A black hole is the remains of a very massive star that has completely collapsed into, at least theoretically, an infinitely dense point. Around the black hole is an area where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, not even light. Stellar mas black holes range from 3 to 30 times the mass of the sun. There are also supermassive black holes, which are millions to billions times the mass of the sun. It is not known how supermassive black holes form.


How many dwarfs were there in the story 'Snow White'?

the answer is ......... 6 dwarfs dopey the youngoust has not have a beard thanks hope that works for you stuff


Who is the shortest dwarfin snow white?

The shortest dwarf in Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is Doc, who is often depicted as the leader of the group. However, in terms of height, all seven dwarfs, including Doc, Sleepy, Happy, Bashful, Sneezy, Grumpy, and Dopey, are characterized as being roughly the same height, with no specific mention of one being shorter than the others. The dwarfs are more distinguished by their personalities than by their physical differences.
