Dwarfs are bright because they are galaxies which have their own stars. They are not closer to the earth than the sun.

What type of star is less bright than the sun?

A red dwarf star is less bright than the sun. Red dwarfs are small, cool stars that emit energy at a much lower rate compared to the sun. Despite being less luminous, red dwarfs are the most common type of star in the universe.


How is it possible for white dwarfs of have a lower luminosity than the sun even though the sun is much cooler than the white dwarfs?

Because luminosity is a measure of brightness over distance. Also white dwarfs are a hundred times smaller than the Sun. Most white dwarfs are a long way away and thus are difficult to see.


What kinds of stars are smaller than the sun?

There are other "main sequence" stars smaller than the Sun, but the classes of much smaller stars are:white dwarf stars (once Sun-like but no longer support fusion)red dwarfs and orange dwarfs (small dim stars that have very long lives)"brown dwarfs" (oversized Jovian gas giants with little or no fusion)neutron stars (smaller than the Earth but immensely dense, remnants of massive stars that went supernova)


Which stars can be smaller than the Sun?

Stars known as red dwarfs are smaller and cooler than the Sun. These stars have masses less than half that of the Sun and can be significantly dimmer. Red dwarfs are the most common type of star in the universe.


Are white dwarfs older than the sun?

Some white dwarfs are older than the sun, and some are not. More massive red dwarfs form from stars larger than the sun, which do not last as long.


How would the sun look from Pluto?

The sun would look much smaller than it does from Earth but still bright.


Is a yellow star bigger than a red star?

There are two types of star that can be red. Red dwarfs are smaller than the sun. Red giants are far larger than the sun.


Is the sun bigger or smaller than other stars?

Our sun is about average compared to other stars. Some are much smaller (white dwarfs) and others are much larger.


The majority of stars in our galaxy are?

The majority of stars in our galaxy are red dwarfs, which are smaller and cooler than our sun. They make up about 70-80% of the stars in the Milky Way.


How dense is the white dwarf to your sun?

A white dwarf is much denser than the Sun. White dwarfs have a typical density around 1 million times greater than the density of the Sun, resulting in a mass similar to the Sun's but packed into a much smaller volume.


Is the moon smaller than the sun and Earth?

yes the sun is the biggest out of all planets however the sun is a star.


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.
