  • White Dwarf Size: Understanding Radii and Solar Comparisons
    White dwarfs typically have a radius of 0.01 to 0.02 solar radii.

    This means they are roughly the size of the Earth, which is about 109 times smaller than the Sun.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Solar radius: 695,508 kilometers

    * White dwarf radius: 10,000 - 20,000 kilometers

    It's important to note that there's some variation in size, depending on the white dwarf's mass and composition.
