A White dwarf star is typically around the size of an earth like planet, but with an approximate mass similar to our suns mass. It is therefore very dense, as all of that mass is packed into a very small volume.
A white dwarf could be smaller or bigger than the moon since it's size varies depending on the mass of the white dwarf. Since the mass of the moon is 7.347 x 1022 kg and the mass of Pluto is 1.31×1022 kg the size of a white dwarf is also smaller or bigger than Pluto depending on it's mass.
Atoms are more then a million times smaller then human hair. Hope that helps =3!!
According to stellar classification [See Link] the proportion of Stars in category O,B those massive enough to be categorised as possible candidates for a black hole, number less than 0.13% while candidates for white dwarfs, category G,K, comprise about 20% of all known stars.{Reinsertion of answerman001 deleted text}This is because white dwarf stars are caused by the sides of a star pulling inward. However, a black hole is caused when a massive star completely collapses inward upon itself, creating a void of sorts, where instead of giving off light and power, it is blank and gives off nothing(black holes do NOT suck as many people believe). As massive stars are less likely to occur than medium and small- sized stars because of the amount of matter needed to make them, therefore we have many more white dwarf stars than we have black holes.I have already answered this question but apperantly someone has deleted it so o.k. it is because most stars are medium sized, extremely condensed, or just plain small, while black holes need stars that are super-sized, or have a few medium stars in close proximaty(is someone could just correct those mistakes i would but i need to watch what i put down ty)More stars have a longer main sequence (low mass stars), which don't swell up to supergiants, they only swell to giants. Low mass stars are more common, and they end up as white dwarfs.
Novas occur because matter is accreted onto a hot white dwarf from a close orbiting star. This matter is compressed onto the surface until nuclear fusion occurs and the surface of the star explodes. This can be once, or many times over an extended period.
About a factor of 21.5. One of Neptune's moons, Triton, is about 20% larger than Pluto.

Many stars are white dwarfs.
Yes, many dwarf hamsters are white even if it isn't winter - and it isn't just Russian Winter White Dwarf Hamster that may turn white in the winter. Some hamsters just are white.
No, the density of a neutron star is much higher than that of a white dwarf. Neutron stars are composed mostly of densely packed neutrons, while white dwarfs are made of electron-degenerate matter. Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe.
It really depends on the type of hampster you have. Syrian hampsters can have 7 to 24. Campbell's dwarf hampsters can have from 4 - 14. Winter White Russian Dwarf, Chinese and Roborovski hampsters generally have slightly smaller litters than the Campbell's Dwarf Hampsters.
Since white dwarf, like all stars, are made up of plasma (ionized gas), they have no craters on their surfaces.
Too many times to count, and I doubt that anyone has ever tried. Unless they are dwarf-crazy, which I doubt...
Sirius B is already a white dwarf. The next transformation will be to become a black dwarf, but not for many many years.
stars are not always white there are many different types of star for example: Black Dwarf Red Giant White Dwarf Blue Giant Neutron they are all varying colors because of the configurations of gas and energy of particals. however 97% of our galaxy's stars are the fabled white dwarf these are white because they are expelling there entire energy at once, the white dwarf is the final stage of a stars life, aside from the purely theoretical black dwarf

Star - Red Giant - White Dwarf - Black dwarf So u could say 4 i guess. :)
3400/34 = 100 It is one hundred times smaller.
