Question

how does a 1.2-solar-mass white dwarf compare to a 1.0-solar-mass white dwarf? A. It has a larger radius BuIt has a smaller radius C.It has a higher surface temperature. D.It has a lower surface temperature. E. It is supported by neutron, rather than electron degeneracy pressure.

Answer 1

B. It has a smaller radius

Step-by-step explanation:

The more mass the white dwarf is the more gravitational pressure that compresses it, making it shrink.

White Drawfs that exceed 1.4 solar masses turn into much smaller stars called neutron stars.
