Somewhat confusingly, there are no "medium" stars. Stars are either dwarfs or giants.
Dwarf stars (class V) come in all types: O, B, A, F, G, K, and M.
There are also class VII "white dwarfs", probably better called "degenerate dwarfs" which are distinct from AV stars. In the first place, they really are small (about the size of Earth); the smallest red dwarfs are much larger, and even the so-called "brown dwarfs" are around the size of Jupiter (though much more massive). Also, they're not part of the main sequence.
What else can I help you with?
Why are dwarf stars hard to find?
Dwarf stars are hard to find because they are small and faint compared to other types of stars, making them more challenging to detect with telescopes. Additionally, dwarf stars are abundant in the universe, but they are typically located far away from Earth, making them difficult to observe in detail.
Are dwarf stars black holes?
no, dwarf stars don't have enough mass
Why are dwarf plants are hot but dim?
I assume you mean a DWARF STAR. There are different types of dwarf stars; the white dwarfs are fairly hot - but the reason they are dim is that they have a very small surface area.
Why are dwarf stars dim?
Dwarf stars are dim because they are smaller and cooler than other types of stars. Their lower temperature and smaller surface area result in less light being emitted compared to larger, hotter stars. This makes them appear dimmer when observed from a distance.
Is Pluto a white dwarf star?
No, Pluto is a dwarf planet in our solar system, not a white dwarf star. White dwarfs are remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and collapsed. Pluto is too small to undergo nuclear fusion and become a star.
What happens to low to medium mass stars when they run out of fuel?
What actually happens to the types of stars is that the low mass will turn into a white dwarf and the medium mass will turn into a black dwarf and reproduce a nebula
Are white dwarf stars a low mass star?
A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
Is the sun a medium sized star or a yellow dwarf star?
The sun is a yellow dwarf star and as such is considered a medium-sized star. The term is something of a misnomer as the majority of stars are red dwarfs smaller than the sun. The term dwarf is used to distinguish how much smaller event the sun is than giant stars.
What happens to low-mass and medium-mass stars when they run out of fuel?
Low-mass stars like our Sun will expand into a red giant and eventually shed their outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a hot core known as a white dwarf. Medium-mass stars will go through similar stages but can also undergo a supernova explosion, leaving behind a dense core called a neutron star.
Is a white dwarf older the a red dwarf?
Not necessarily. A white dwarf is simply the remains of a low to medium mass star that has died. A red dwarf is a low mass star. Since red dwarfs last longer than medium mass stars, one could easily be older than a white dwarf.
What are the five main groups of stars?
The five main groups of stars are main sequence stars, giant stars, supergiant stars, white dwarf stars, and neutron stars. These groups are classified based on their size, temperature, and stage in their life cycle.
Does a white dwarf star use hydrogen for energy?
No, white dwarf stars do not undergo nuclear fusion like main sequence stars, including our Sun. White dwarf stars are the remnants of low to medium mass stars, and they use stored thermal energy to shine and gradually cool over time.
Why are dwarf stars hard to find?
Dwarf stars are hard to find because they are small and faint compared to other types of stars, making them more challenging to detect with telescopes. Additionally, dwarf stars are abundant in the universe, but they are typically located far away from Earth, making them difficult to observe in detail.
Is a white dwarf considered a main sequence star?
No, a white dwarf is not considered a main sequence star. A main sequence star is a star that is still fusing hydrogen in its core. A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star in which fusion has stopped.
Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?
Yes, a star of low to medium mass, like the sun, will eventually turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle. This occurs after the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and shed its outer layers.
Are dwarf stars black holes?
no, dwarf stars don't have enough mass
