Question

Arrange the following stars in ascending order of size, (from the smallest to the largest). white dwarf giant star supergiant star neutron

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(smallest) Neutron Star, White Dwarf, Giant Star, Super Giant (largest)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given starts in ascending order of size (from the smallest to the largest) are as follows:

1. Neutron Star: These are smallest stars (from the given options) with a radius of typically 30 km and they range from about 20 to 40 miles only.

2. White Dwarf: It is a very dense star having a mass which is comparable to that of the Sun and a radius of approximately 7000 km.

3. Giant Star: It is a large luminous start with a radius ranging from 10 to 100 solar radii.

4. Super Giant: These type of starts are the largest in the universe with radius ranging from 30 to 500 solar radii.

Answer 2

Hi!

The correct order would be:

Neutron Stars (Smallest)

White Dwarf

Giant Stars

Supergiant Stars (Largest)

Neutron stars are generally smaller stars that have a radius that is generally about 10 kilometers in radius, and highly dense.

White Dwarf stars have a size of about the sun, with a radius that is generally about 7000 kilometers which is nearly the same as that of the Earth.

Giant stars are considerably larger stars with a radius that falls in a range of 10- 100 solar radii.

Supergiant stars are the largest of this selection, with radius that may lie in a range of 30 - 1000 solar radii.

Hope this helps!
