Why are white dwarfs so hot?

• White dwarfs fuse more hydrogen since they are more dense

• White dwarfs fuse heavier elements since they are more dense

• White dwarfs magnetic field amplifies the heat produced

• Because they used to be a star's core

Which of the following about main-sequence stars is FALSE?

• Main-sequence stars always fuse hydrogen

• When a main-sequence star runs out of hydrogen, the core contracts and moves off the main-sequence

• For main-sequence stars, bluer stars typically have the longest lifespan

• For main-sequence stars, the hotter the temperature the more massive the star is

Why do younger stars typically live in the spiral arms of galaxies?

• The rotation of the spiral arms produces newer stars

• Galaxies acquire mass and grow in size, so younger stars form towards the outside

• Younger stars are produced in the center but pushed out to the spiral arms

• Younger stars need a lot of room in space to form
