It depends. The lower the mass of the star, the longer the lifespan. It is believed that the lifespan of these stars exceeds the expected 10 billion year lifespan of our Sun by the third or fourth power of the ratio of their masses to the solar mass, which means a red dwarf with 0.1 solar mass may continue burning for 10 trillion years

What comes before white dwarf and after white dwarf?
Before a white dwarf, a star would undergo the red giant phase. After a white dwarf, a star may end its life cycle as a black dwarf, although no black dwarfs are currently known to exist in the universe due to the long timescales required for a white dwarf to cool down.
What is a small star that only gives of faint light and are cool?
A small star that only gives off faint light and is relatively cool is likely a red dwarf star. These stars are much smaller and cooler than our Sun, but they are the most common type of star in the universe. Despite their dim appearance, red dwarfs can be very long-lived.
What is the White Dwarf stars life cycle?
A white dwarf star starts out like a our sun and turns into a white dwarf at the end of the stars life cycle. They have used up all their nuclear energy. At the end of this nuclear burning stage the star expels most to all of its outer materials. This creates what is known as a planetary nebula. The hot core is the only part of the star that remains. Temperatures of the core can and will exceed 100,000 Celsius becoming a very hot white. From this point the star starts to cool down, but that takes a billion years or more.
A small dense star that forms at the end of a medium stars life cycle is?
Once a medium sized star has consumed all it's fuel it becomes a White Dwarf star (just the extremely dense core of the original star remains composed mainly of carbon). A White Dwarf star will, however, eventually lose it's heat to become a Black Dwarf.
True or false. our sun is a white dwarf star?
False. The sun is a yellow main sequence star.
Are white dwarf stars always white?
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
The star that is the red and the cool?
A Dwarf
How long is the Sun's life expectancy?
It should "live" for about 5 billion years as it is, more or less. Then it will become a red giant star. Then it becomes a white dwarf. Finally it will "die" as a black dwarf.
Steps in the life of a star?
the steps in the life of a star is the yellow dwarf,red giant,white dwarf & the black dwarf.
What is the name of the cool red star?
red dwarf i think!
What do you call a small faint relatively cool star?
If it is small and cool enough it could be a "brown dwarf". If it is a little warmer it is called a "Red Dwarf".
What is another name for a small old cool star?
white dwarf

Nebule > Star > Red Giant > Red Dwarf > White Dwarf > Supernova > Neutron Star > Black Hole.
What comes before white dwarf and after white dwarf?

What is a star formed from a white dwarf that has lost its energy?
A white dwarf is the last stage of 97% of star evolution. A white dwarf will eventually cool down, and become a "black dwarf". Black dwarves are not expected to exist yet; to cool down to that level, it would take longer than the current age of the Universe.
What is a small star that only gives of faint light and are cool?
A small star that only gives off faint light and is relatively cool is likely a red dwarf star. These stars are much smaller and cooler than our Sun, but they are the most common type of star in the universe. Despite their dim appearance, red dwarfs can be very long-lived.
What is the life expectancy of sun?
The Sun has about another 5 billion years before it becomes a red giant. Then it will become a white dwarf star, fading out as a black dwarf many billions of years from now. However, it will start to change and make life very difficult on Earth in only about one billion years.
