I don't think it's mass that defines those states. Whatever its mass, a star lives
most of its life on the main sequence like the Sun, swells to red gianthood in its
old age like Betelgeuse, and dies as a white dwarf like Sirius-B.
They could certainly be arranged in the order of their density, however:
least dense . . . red giant
in the middle . . the Sun
most dense. . . white dwarf
What else can I help you with?
Is white dwarf a massive star?
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
What causes a giant star to turn into a white dwarf?
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
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.
Is Pollux a white dwarf star?
No, Pollux is not a white dwarf star. It is an orange giant star that is nearing the end of its life cycle. White dwarfs are remnants of stars like the Sun after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
Is it true or fault that A white dwarf star is about the same size as the sun?
False. A white dwarf star is much smaller in size compared to the sun. A white dwarf is typically about the size of the Earth, whereas the sun is much larger, around 100 times wider and more massive than a white dwarf star.
What is the star called that is after the Red Giant?
white dwarf if it has low mass Neutron star or Blackhole if it is massive enough to cause a red super giant
What is the order from smallest to largest sun supernova red giant white dwarf?
White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova
Is white dwarf a massive star?
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
Which is the correct order - white dwarf or red?
The correct order is red giant followed by white dwarf. A red giant is a stage in the life cycle of a star where it has expanded and cooled. After the red giant phase, the star sheds its outer layers and the core collapses to form a white dwarf.
What causes a giant star to turn into a white dwarf?
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
What star last longer a massive low or medium?
a medium becomes it because a red giant then it explodes , a low only becomes a white dwarf and a massive becomes a supernova or a black hole
How are giant stars and white dwarf related?
A giant star is a dying star that expanded, and the core shrinks are the same time. When the shell of the giant star drift into space as planetary nebula, the core became a white dwarf. The white dwarf is made from the core of the giant star.
White Dwarf is one of the final stages in?
A stars evolution. Our Sun will go yellow dwarf -> red giant -> white dwarf -> black dwarf.
How long will the sun be a red giant before it transitions into a white dwarf?
The sun will be a red giant for about 1 billion years before transitioning into a white dwarf.
What is the cycle of the stars?
Stellar Nebula - Average Star- Red Giant - Planetary Nebula - White Dwarf Stellar Nebula - Massive Star - Red Super Giant - Super Nova- Neutron Star Stellar Nebula - Massive star - Red Super Giant -Super Nova - Black Hole
How massive is a white dwarf?
they are half as massive as the sun yet only bigger that earth!
How a star becames a white dwarf?
A white dwarf is the core of a dead star. As the star runs out of fuel, it expands into a red giant, as the shell of the red giant became a planetary nebula, and the core shrinks and became a white dwarf.
