Does a white dwarf star use hydrogen for energy?
No, white dwarf stars do not undergo nuclear fusion like main sequence stars, including our Sun. White dwarf stars are the remnants of low to medium mass stars, and they use stored thermal energy to shine and gradually cool over time.
Do all stars begin as white dwarfs?
No. Stars do not start as whit dwarfs. A white dwarf is the remnant of dead star.
How did the white dwarf star get its name?
The term "white dwarf" was coined by astronomer Willem Luyten in the 1920s to describe the fainter, cooler remnants of Sun-like stars. The word "white" refers to its color, which appears white due to its low surface temperature, while "dwarf" denotes its small size compared to other types of stars.
