No, planets are not nearly massive enough to become black holes. Any object with more than about 80 times the mass of Jupiter would begin fusing hydrogen in its core, so it would be a star, not a planet.

Even then, it would still not be massive enough to form a black hole.

Name 3 items found in space besides stars moons planets?

Galaxies - massive collections of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity. Nebulae - clouds of gas and dust in space where new stars are born. Black holes - regions of space with such strong gravitational forces that nothing, not even light, can escape.


What is the deinition of Nebula?

a nebula is the cloud of radioactive material dust smoke and debris caused by an exploding start, a nebula happens after a nova or super nova..and somtimes the collapse of a start causes black holes too in which case you wont see a nebula because the massive amount of gravity in the black holes sucks everything in, but yes a nebula is the cloud left over from an exploding star


How many black holes have people discovered?

If you know,there lies a black hole at the center of every galaxy,so the number of galaxies in the universe,same number of black holes.But there could be trillions of galaxies,witch also means trillions of black holes. There maybe a black hole in the center of every galaxy but there are also called stellar black holes. Stellar black holes can be find ANYWHERE in space.So it is not only the ammount of galaxies. There is a unknown answer to this question.There might be billions of black holes. Scientists do not know yet. Since we can only see about 13 billion lightyearsof the Universe from this position, its impossible to know even an estimated number of anything in the universe. That's including black holes.

How can you Get the analysis for planets in your ascendant?

You won't have planets in your ascendant, you will have planets in your "natal chart". The natal chart is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment you were born, at the location you were born. Within your natal chart, you will have an ascendant. The ascendant is the eastern horizon.


Why is Stephen Hawkings Famous?

Stephen Hawking is famous for his research on black holes. He is one of the most famous cosmologists and theoretical physicists alive. He is known, amongst other things, for the description of radiation that escapes from the region near a black hole (Hawking radiation) and the theory of the evaporation of black holes. Together with Roger Penrose, he showed that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. Hawkings' scientific works (together with others) include providing theorems regarding singularities, the framework of general relativity. He is also famous because he has accomplished so much, despite his debilitating muscular atrophy due to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). from his work in black holes and working through his disablities. Yes he was. Stephen Hawking was born on January 8th 1942 and is known for his contribution to cosmology and quantum gravity.
