Question

Which of the following is the most likely end for a star that is small to average in size?

Blue main sequence
Red supergiant
Supernova
White dwarf

Answer 1

D. white dwarf

Step-by-step explanation:

A typical white dwarf is half as massive as the Sun, yet only slightly bigger than Earth. An Earth-sized white dwarf has a density of 1 x
`10^(9)` kg/
`m^(3)`. Earth itself has an average density of only 5.4 x
`10^(3)` kg/
`m^(3)`. That means a white dwarf is 200,000 times as dense. This makes white dwarfs one of the densest collections of matter, surpassed only by neutron stars.
