To determine: The rank in order of increasing energy output of a white dwarf, a supernova, a blue supergiant, a red giant .
Answer:
The rank in order of increasing energy output is a white dwarf < a red giant < a blue supergiant < a supernova.
Explanation:
The temperature of a white dwarf is much lesser as compared to Sun. It is around
A red giant is a highly bright and low-mass star of temperature around
Blue supergiant releases the energy output of around
Supernova is the brightest and largest explosions of supergiant star humans have encountered. The total energy output may be as much as the total output of the Sun during its
Conclusion:
Therefore, the rank in order of increasing energy output is a white dwarf, a red giant, a blue supergiant, a supernova.
