There are two different star sizes.  One is a dwarf star the other one is giant.  The dwarf is about  435,000 miles around.  That  is a small star but that is mighty big.

In 1995 a brown dwarf star was found.  A brown dwarf star is not really a star; it is a failed star.  A failed is a star that has gong out.

The nearest red dwarf star is 20 trillion miles away.  Red dwarf stars grow and grow until they burn up then all that’s left is a hot core known as a white dwarf star.

When a white dwarf star goes out it is then a black dwarf star.  No one has ever seen a black dwarf star.
