White Dwarf
White dwarf explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine you're cleaning out a closet, deciding to get rid of old clothes you no longer wear. Once you’ve discarded the excess, you’re left with a neat, compact collection of just your essential items. Similarly, when a star sheds its outer layers and loses the material it no longer needs, it leaves behind a white dwarf—a dense core of what once was. Just as your streamlined closet represents the core essentials after a big cleanout, a white dwarf is the remaining core of a star, stripped down to its fundamental, dense state after shedding its outer layers into space.
Practice Version
White Dwarf: The hot dense core of a star left behind when its outer layers have escaped into space. White dwarf. A white dwarf is a small, dense star that forms when a star like our Sun uses up its nuclear fuel and sheds its outer layers.
