A white dwarf is the exposed core left behind after a Sun-like star dies. It contains roughly the mass of the Sun compressed into a volume similar to Earth’s.
There is no fusion happening inside a white dwarf. Instead, it shines due to residual heat. Over billions of years, it will slowly cool and fade, eventually becoming a dark, cold object.
White dwarfs are supported by quantum mechanical pressure, not heat. This makes them stable despite their extreme density.
