Some stars will turn into a black hole as a result of gravitational collapse. The condition is that the star has enough mass left at the end of its life.

Additional: Late in a large star's life the fusion process fill the core of the star with iron. When the supply of silicon to fuse in to iron occurs the iron collapses under its own weight and the fusion process switches from an exothermic process to an endothermic process. The result is the pressure that holds the star up against its own weight fails and the iron core of the star collapses from being several thousand miles in diameter to a speck smaller than anything you can imagine. The outer layers of the star made of lighter materials collapses in to the void setting off a chain reaction of fusion where the pressure in the center overwhelms the force of gravity and blast the outer layers of the star out into space away from the star and much of the inner layers in to the black hole. The material the star is made of is so heavy that it warps space around it into a bubble where no matter which direction it moves it can't exit. The interior of the black hole is a mystery because its a rather strange place that can not be described by General Relativity or Quantum Mechanics.

What are white holes?

Hypothetical celestial bodies that behave in an opposite manner to black holes and rather than pulling everything in they spit matter out. White holes also have a unstable gravity and collapse and turn into black holes.


Do stars ever turn into black?

Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.


Do all-stars tern into blackholes when they die?

Not all stars do but stars can turn into black holes. Small ones turn in to a black dwarf star when it dies. Medium ones turn in to a neutron then in to a red giant star and then to white dwarf star Large size stars becomes a blackhole..........

Why are black holes round?

Black holes are round because they are formed from dead stars and white holes. As you can guess a star is a sphere and that is why black holes are round.
