Question

which statements are true of a white dwarf? it has a red shell. it is the result of the core collapse of a low-mass star that sheds its outer layers. it emits massive amounts of light compared with other stars. it strongly attracts all matter or energy that comes near it. it cools down to become a black dwarf.

Explanation:

Answer:

  • It is the result of the core collapse of a low - mass star that sheds its outer layers.
  • It cools down to become a black dwarf.

(Explanation: A white dwarf does not have a red shell (red giants/supergiants have different shell - related characteristics). It does not emit massive amounts of light compared to many other stars (it is relatively dim). It does not strongly attract all matter/energy like a black hole does. A white dwarf is formed from the core of a low - mass star after it sheds its outer layers, and it cools over time to become a black dwarf (though black dwarfs are theoretical as the universe isn't old enough for existing white dwarfs to have cooled to that stage yet).)
