=White Dwarf - //'Its not small at all.'//=

A White Dwarf is a star that has used up its hydrogen fuel. For e.g Our Sun is a star, it'll die in 15 billion years, when it has used up all its hydrogen fuel. When our Sun dies it will turn to a white dwarf star.

At the end of their life, some smaller stars become very big and bright before shrinking into a white dwarf star. Most white dwarf stars fade away.
 * What is a white dwarf star?**

After a star has used up all its hydrogen fuel, its outer core begins to swell and it can collapse under its own gravity. The star than becomes brighter and then is formed into a red giant. The giant's mass determines how the star will eventually die. When the inner core cools down it turns the star into a white dwarf star.
 * How do white dwarf stars form?**

-White dwarf stars are small stars. The smallest white dwarf star is the van Maanen's Star which has a diameter of 8,400 kilometres which is approximately less than the distance across the continent of Asia! -A teaspoon of this would equal 3 tonnes, compared to the Sun where a teaspoon of that equls 2.1 grams.
