What are the characteristics of white stars?
It is the Post-Main sequence star that burns helium. They are considered giants, unlike our sun, which is a Yellow Dwarf. they are extremely hot and large.
What does a red dwarf sun burn?
Like all main sequence stars, a red dwarf is powered by the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
Is the sun in the collection of white dwarf stars?
No, the sun is a main sequence star, not a white dwarf. White dwarfs are the remnants of smaller stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and collapsed. The sun will eventually evolve into a white dwarf in about 5 billion years.
What is the next stage in the life of a lower-mass main-sequence star?
white dwarf. unless you count black dwarf of which none have been observed, only theorized.
Is a dwarf star headed for earth?
No, there is no dwarf star heading for Earth. The closest star to Earth is the Sun, which is a main-sequence star. Dwarf stars are common in the universe and many are much farther away from Earth.
How do you explain what the differences are between main sequence stars white dwarf stars and supergiant stars?
A star on "main sequence" is a period in a stars evolution.A white dwarf is a stellar remainA supergiant star is the size of a very big star.So they are completely different and not even related.
What are the characteristics of white stars?
It is the Post-Main sequence star that burns helium. They are considered giants, unlike our sun, which is a Yellow Dwarf. they are extremely hot and large.
What one is bigger a white dwarf or a main sequence star?
Main sequence stars are bigger.
Which of the stars are considered a dwarf star?
Basically, all stars that aren't "giants", "supergiants", or "hypergiants" are considered dwarf stars. This means that all stars on the main sequence are dwarfs.
Why dwarf stars are so bright?
Dwarf stars are NOT "so much Bright", the smaller the star is (provided it is on the main sequence) the less intrinsically bright it is.
Main sequence stars are also called stars?
A "main sequence star" is not really a type of star but a period in a stars life. When a star is in "main sequence" it is converting hydrogen into helium. It is then usually called a dwarf star. This is the longest period in a stars lifetime. Our Sun is a yellow dwarf in "main sequence".
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.
What are different sizes or stars?
Stars can be classified into different sizes based on their mass and luminosity. The most common sizes are dwarf stars (like our Sun), giant stars (larger and more luminous than the Sun), and supergiant stars (the largest and most luminous stars, like Betelgeuse and Rigel). There are also intermediate sizes like subgiant stars.
What is another name for main sequence stars?
Dwarf stars. See related link for more information.
What two stars can form a nova?
A Main Sequence star and a White Dwarf.
Why are dwarf stars so much Bright?
Dwarf stars are NOT "so much Bright", the smaller the star is (provided it is on the main sequence) the less intrinsically bright it is.
Are there dwarf stars other than red and white like maybe blue?
Yes there are a few more [See related link for more information].--- Main sequence stars -----Red dwarf Yellow dwarfBlue dwarf (hypothetical)--- Degenerate stars --------White dwarf Black dwarf (hypothetical)--- Sub stellar stars -------Brown dwarf.
