White+Dwarfs


 * White dwarfs **

A white dwarf is basically a star which has ended its life. But not all stars become white dwarfs after they die. It all begins and depends on the mass the star was born with. If a star was born with a high mass it will end up as either a black hole or a neutron star. Unlike stars which were born with a light mass, they are the ones which will become white dwarfs.

^Here is the Sun as a white dwarf. The White Dwarf would have the same mass as the Sun. This would make it one of the most densest forms of matter.

Did you know? That if you had 1 teaspoon of a White Dwarfs matter, it would weigh 5.5 tonnes here on Earth. Thats as heavy as an elephant.
