When a star become a dwarf
Hello,
I was wondering.
What does a planet become when the star that is nearby (i.e Sun for the
Earth) is becoming a white dwarf?
Can a planet still be here or is the amount of energy displayed by the
desintegration of the star blowing everything on it's way?
Thanks for answering this important matter ^^

the scientific terms.
