It varies widely. Most black holes are believed to form when massive stars die. These very large stars generally last only a few million years and likely have been forming and dying since the formation of the first stars about 13 billion years ago. It is estimated that such a star dies every few seconds in the observable universe. Therefore black holes likely have a fairly even distribution of ages ranging from newly formed to nearly the age of the universe.

How far is the earth to the black dwarf star?

There are not black dwarfs. It would take trillions of years for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf, which is more than the current age of the universe.


What is the next stage after The white dwarf stage?

the next stage of a white dwarf is the black dwarf which is form when the degenerate electron slowly cools down by thermal radiation but the time required for a white dwarf to become a black dwarf is bigger than the current age of universe so the evidence of a black dwarf isn't found yet


How Many Black Dwarfs are thought to exist?

No black dwarfs are thought to exist. The estimated time it takes for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf is greater than the current age of the universe.


What are some examples of back dwarfs?

There are currently no black dwarfs. The time it would take for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf is greater than the current age of the universe.


Why have black dwarfs not been seen?

It is estimated that it would take trillions of years for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf, which is more than the current age of universe. So black dwarfs do not exist yet.


What does a black dwarf burn?

A black dwarf does not burn anything. A black dwarf is the cooled remnant of a dead star.


How long will it take for a brown dwarf to become a black dwarf?

A brown dwarf will never become a black dwarf. A black dwarf is what becomes of a white dwarf. This process takes hundreds of trillions of years.


What is the relationship between a black dwarf and a white dwarf?

A black dwarf is a theoretical end-stage of a white dwarf star in the far future, after it has cooled down and no longer emits light. White dwarfs are hot, dense remnants of low to medium mass stars at the end of their evolution.


When was The Black Dwarf created?

The Black Dwarf was created in 1817.


When did The Black Dwarf end?

The Black Dwarf ended in 1824.


Can a mid sized star become a or a black dwarf?

Yes, a mid-sized star can eventually become a white dwarf or a black dwarf. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, the star sheds its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf. Over trillions of years, a white dwarf may cool and fade into a black dwarf, although this process would take longer than the current age of the universe.


What is a dim star that forms from a collapsed red giant?

It is called a white dwarf. It is the penultimate stage of a star the size of the Sun, which progresses with age from a yellow or orange star, to a red giant, to a white dwarf, and ultimately (after an immensely long period of time) a black dwarf. (There are no confirmed black dwarf stars because their formation may take much longer than the current age of the universe.)
