Where on the Main Sequence are stars cool and dim?
None of them are cool and dim; the one in the white/black dwarfs are cool and dim.
What stars are the oldest red dwarfs white dwarfs red stars or giant stars?
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.
Why have no white dwarfs cooled to form black dwarfs in the galaxy?
According to astronomers and authors Jonathan Weiner and Carl Sagan, white dwarfs - which have been an accepted entities by all astronomers for decades - require an amount of time to "cool down" that well exceeds the current age of the universe - hence there hasn't been enough time for any of them to cool down yet and become "black dwarfs".
What are some examples of back dwarfs?
There are currently no black dwarfs. The time it would take for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf is greater than the current age of the universe.
Why no red dwarfs have become white dwarfs?
Red dwarfs have not yet evolved into white dwarfs because red dwarfs are much less massive than other types of stars that do become white dwarfs. Red dwarfs are the smallest and coolest stars, and they have not burned through their fuel quickly enough to go through the stage of becoming a white dwarf. It will take billions of years for a red dwarf to cool and fade into a white dwarf.
Why cant a white dwarf contract as it cool?
White dwarfs are made of degenerate matter in which temperature does not affect pressure.
What is a white dwarfs temperature?
it's cool
How long do white dwarfs shine before they cool completely?
White dwarfs shine for billions of years before they cool completely. As they cool, they become dimmer and eventually fade into darkness, becoming black dwarfs. However, the process of a white dwarf cooling into a black dwarf takes trillions of years.
Where on the Main Sequence are stars cool and dim?
None of them are cool and dim; the one in the white/black dwarfs are cool and dim.
Why don't white dwarfs contract as they cool?
By the time a star reaches the white dwarf stage, it's already about as compact as it's possible for ordinary matter to get... the size is maintained by electron degeneracy pressure, which is a fancy way of saying "the atoms are already touching, contracting any more would mean forcing the electrons into the nucleus."
Very small stars that are usually old and running out fuel are called?
Those are dwarf stars, which start out as white dwarfs and as they (very slowly) cool, become red dwarfs and eventually brown dwarfs.
Why is the white dwarfs white?
They are called white dwarfs because when they form, although not replenishing their energy supply any more, they are still hot enough to shine. Overt time (a long time) however, they will cool down and become 'black dwarfs' which no longer emit light in visible wavelengths.
What stars are the oldest red dwarfs white dwarfs red stars or giant stars?
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.

What do stars that have ejected a planetary nebula eventually become?
Stars that have ejected a planetary nebula eventually become white dwarfs. These are core remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel. White dwarfs gradually cool down over billions of years to become black dwarfs.
Are dwarfs cool?
Of course they are!
