What is the typical temperature of a white dwarf?
-
A few thousand degrees Celsius
-
A few million degrees Celsius
-
A few hundred million degrees Celsius
-
A few billion degrees Celsius
A
Correct answer
Explanation
White dwarfs are hot objects, but their temperatures are much lower than those of stars. This is because they no longer undergo nuclear fusion and rely on residual heat from their formation.
