White dwarfs have very small surface areas compared to main sequence stars and therefore cannot emit as much light.
Yes, some of the 20 nearest stars are white dwarfs. For example, Sirius B, the companion star to Sirius A, is a white dwarf. Among the 20 brightest stars, Sirius B is the only white dwarf.
The oldest stars are typically red dwarfs, which are small, cool, and faint stars that have long lifespans. White dwarfs are the remnant cores of low to medium mass stars, not the oldest. Giant stars are intermediate stage stars that have evolved away from the main sequence.
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
There are more white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars can form black holes. White dwarfs form from low to medium mass stars, which far outnumber the supermassive ones.
I think white dwarfs. This is because they are much more low mass than black holes. White dwarfs are much more common in the universe than black holes, because we have only discovered a few black holes whereas we are aware of many white dwarfs.
No. White dwarfs are fairly dim. The brightest known stars are generally Wolf-Rayet stars.
Yes, some of the 20 nearest stars are white dwarfs. For example, Sirius B, the companion star to Sirius A, is a white dwarf. Among the 20 brightest stars, Sirius B is the only white dwarf.
No. Stars become white dwarfs after dying.
Stars vary in color and may be red, orange, yellow, white, or blue. Blue stars are the hottest and among the brightest.
The oldest stars are typically red dwarfs, which are small, cool, and faint stars that have long lifespans. White dwarfs are the remnant cores of low to medium mass stars, not the oldest. Giant stars are intermediate stage stars that have evolved away from the main sequence.
No. Stars do not start as whit dwarfs. A white dwarf is the remnant of dead star.
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
White dwarfs are the remnants of dead low to medium mass stars, which is the mass range of the majority of stars.
Because dwarf stars aren't very bright. They are too SMALL to be especially bright, for one thing.
Many stars are white dwarfs.
blue and white
White dwarfs are stellar remnants, so it a simplified form, they are dead stars.
