A white dwarf has the density of the Sun compacted into the size of the Earth.
A white dwarf has a density of about 1 x 109 kg/m3 whereas a neutron star has a density of 8.4 x 1016kg/m3
Water for comparison is 1,000 kg/m3

∙ 15y agoThe average density is approximately 2.4E9 kg per cm^3.
The central density is approximately 1.4E10 kg per cm^3. (Using an adiabatic index of 5/3)

Is the density of a white dwarf greater or less than material on earth?
millions of times grater
How big is earth compared to dwarf planet Haumea?
In terms of mass, Earth is about 1400 times as massive as Haumea. In terms of volume, Earth is about 722.14 times bigger.
How can a star that has more mass than the sun be smaller than your sun?
The obvious reason is that the specific star has bigger density compared with the Sun. For example, that star could be a "white dwarf star". A white dwarf mostly contains "electron degenerate matter", which is very dense. A white dwarf is a small dense star.
What dwarf planet is smaller than the earth's moon?
Pluto is the dwarf planet that is smaller than the Earth's moon.
How dense is the white dwarf to your sun?
A white dwarf is several hundred billion times denser than the average density of the sun.
Is the density of a white dwarf greater or less than material on earth?
millions of times grater
What is the density of 1 solar mass white dwarf that has a radius of 10.10.10.10 km?
Re the radius, what units are the 10.4 in.(A white dwarf is a small star composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. They are very dense; a white dwarf's mass is comparable to that of the Sun and its volume is comparable to that of the Earth).The density of matter in a white dwarf is, very roughly, 1,000,000 times greater than the average density of the Sun, or approximately 106 grams (1 tonne) per cubic centimeter.There is a limiting mass that no white dwarf can exceed called the Chandrasekhar limit, beyond which electron degeneracy pressure cannot support the object against collapse at which point it turns into a Type 1a supernova.
How big is earth compared to dwarf planet Haumea?
In terms of mass, Earth is about 1400 times as massive as Haumea. In terms of volume, Earth is about 722.14 times bigger.
Is the density of a neutron star about the same density as a white dwarf?
No. A neutron star is many times denser than a white dwarf.
How does the the mass and size of a white dwarf compare with the mass and size of the sun?
A white dwarf, also called a degenerate dwarf, is a small star composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. They are very dense; a white dwarf's mass is comparable to that of the Sun and its volume is comparable to that of the Earth.
Is the density of a pulsar greater than the density of a white dwarf?
The density of a pulsar or neutron star is much greater than that of a white dwarf. A typical (if there is such a thing) neutron star has a density of between 8.4 × 1016 to 1 × 1018 kg/m3 whereas a white dwarf has a density of about 1 × 109 kg/m3
How many stars are there in a dwarf planet?
None. No planet or dwarf planet contains stars.

What type of star do scientist think your sun will end up as?
Scientists believe that after our Sun's time is over or it blows up, it will become a dwarf star. A dwarf star is a star that is small yet has an astonishing amount of density. It is said that if even a quarter of an inch thick cube of any dwarf star were to be put on Earth, it would sink directly through the Earth and out the other side of Earth back into space where gravity practically does not exist.
What dwarf planet is smaller than the earth's moon?
Pluto is the dwarf planet that is smaller than the Earth's moon.
How dense is the white dwarf to your sun?
A white dwarf is several hundred billion times denser than the average density of the sun.
Will the core of a high mass star turn into a nutron star?
It depends on the density. Low density = dwarf Medium density = neutron star High density = black hole
