A red dwarf can last for a trillion years, or for several trillion years, before it runs out of energy (and turns into a white dwarf). That is much longer than the current age of the Universe. In other words, red dwarves didn't yet have time to become white dwarves.

A dying star shrinks to this?

Dying stars eventually shrink into white dwarfs (which as they age eventually become red dwarfs and then brown dwarfs - but this takes an extremely long time).


Where are white dwarfs supeegiants and red giants?

White Dwarfs, Supergiants, and Red Giants are stars that are found in the sky.


Do stars die out after becoming white dwarfs?

No. Stars become white dwarfs after dying.


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.


Which are hotter white dwarfs or red giants?

red giants


Are white dwarfs older then red giants?

yes they are


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 our galaxy?

No white dwarfs have cooled to become black dwarfs in our galaxy because the universe is not old enough for this process to occur. White dwarfs take longer than the current age of the universe (approximately 13.8 billion years) to cool sufficiently to become black dwarfs, likely requiring hundreds of billions to trillions of years. As a result, all white dwarfs in the Milky Way are still in the cooling phase and none have yet reached the stage of becoming black dwarfs.


Are giants hotter than white dwarfs?

No, white dwarfs are much hotter than giants. Giants are stars in the later stages of their evolution, while white dwarfs are the remnants of dead stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel. White dwarfs can have surface temperatures in the tens of thousands of degrees Kelvin, while giants have lower surface temperatures.

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 white dwarfs older than the sun?

Some white dwarfs are older than the sun, and some are not. More massive red dwarfs form from stars larger than the sun, which do not last as long.
