Dwarf stars, particularly white dwarfs, have extremely high densities, often exceeding 1 million grams per cubic centimeter. This is due to the collapse of the star's core after it has exhausted its nuclear fuel, leading to a compact structure primarily composed of electron-degenerate matter. In contrast, red dwarfs, which are low-mass stars still in the hydrogen-burning phase, have lower densities, typically around 15 to 30 grams per cubic centimeter. Overall, the density of dwarf stars can vary significantly based on their type and evolutionary stage.

Is the density of a neutron star about the same density as a white dwarf?

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.


Which is denser a dwarf star or a giant star?

A dwarf star is denser than a giant star. Dwarf stars have a higher density due to their smaller size and higher mass compared to giant stars. Giant stars have larger volumes and lower densities as they have expanded and become less dense towards the end of their life cycle.


How can a star that has more mass than the sun be smaller than your sun?

The obvious reason is that the specific star has bigger density compared with the Sun. For example, that star could be a "white dwarf star". A white dwarf mostly contains "electron degenerate matter", which is very dense. A white dwarf is a small dense star.


Is the density of a pulsar greater than the density of a white dwarf?

The density of a pulsar or neutron star is much greater than that of a white dwarf. A typical (if there is such a thing) neutron star has a density of between 8.4 × 1016 to 1 × 1018 kg/m3 whereas a white dwarf has a density of about 1 × 109 kg/m3


Is a dwarf star and a white dwarf the same thing?

No. A dwarf star is a small star. A white dwarf is just one particular type of dwarf star, but there are other types.

Will the core of a high mass star turn into a nutron star?

Yes, the core of a high mass star will collapse under immense gravitational pressure during a supernova explosion, forming a neutron star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense and composed primarily of neutrons, hence the name.


Is a dwarf star bigger than your sun?

Depends what type of dwarf star. - Our Sun is a yellow dwarf.


A medium-sized star ends up as a black dwarf while a larger star explodes as a what that become a black hole?

A medium sized star becomes a red giant or a white dwarf - depending on the circumstances. If the star collapses further than the white dwarf it can supernova or become a blackhole. Supernova'd stars rarely become blackholes - the density of what is left is nowhere near the density a blackhole needs to be born.


What type of star do scientist think your sun will end up as?

Scientists believe that after our Sun's time is over or it blows up, it will become a dwarf star. A dwarf star is a star that is small yet has an astonishing amount of density. It is said that if even a quarter of an inch thick cube of any dwarf star were to be put on Earth, it would sink directly through the Earth and out the other side of Earth back into space where gravity practically does not exist.
