When a white dwarf star no longer emits energy what does it become?

When a white dwarf star no longer emits energy, it becomes a black dwarf. Black dwarfs are theoretical end points of stellar evolution where all nuclear reactions have ceased, and the star has cooled down to the background temperature of the universe.


Why would a white dwarf become a red dwarf?

A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.


In what manner does an isolated white dwarf generate energy?

Low to medium mass Stars will become white dwarfs, where the mass is up to 8 solar masses (8 times the mass of our sun). There are two types of white dwarf stars; - low mass stars with a solar mass less than 0.5 will become helium white dwarfs. The temperature of these will not be high enough to fuse helium into carbon. - low to medium stars with a solar mass between 0.5 and 8 will become Carbon-Oxygen white dwarfs. Any star larger than 8 solar masses cannot become a white dwarf.


What is a cooled white dwarf star that is extremely dense?

A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.


What causes stars to change during the white and black dwarf phases?

A white dwarf no longer produces energy through fusion but remains hot from the residual heat of the star it once was. It will radiate that energy away and slowly cool as a result, eventually becoming a black dwarf.

Why is a white dwarf considered a dead star?

A white dwarf is not considered a "dead star." It is considered a dying star, but not dead yet. A white dwarf is at its smallest state and could become a supernova when its center runs out of fuel to burn.


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.


Is the sun a massive star or a dwarf star?

its not a massive or a dwarf  star


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 does a white dwaf star have no fuel?

the white dwarf star only uses the leftover thermal energy from its energy-prducing days keeps the star alive for a very long time dj


Does a red dwarf generate a lot of energy?

It depends on what you consider to be a lot of energy. A red dwarf generates far less energy than other classes of star, but still far more than anything on Earth.


How are stars made with fusion reaction big bang giant nebula white dwarf and protostar?

white dwarf is an age that a star reaches but the big bang is an explosion of nuclear energy that makes a star


Is a dwarf star bigger than your sun?

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


Is white dwarf a dead star?

Yes - in the sense that it no longer produces energy. In other words, the star has run out of fuel for nuclear fusion.
