Sometimes. It depends on the precise conditions. The mass of the star (after blowing off its outer layers in the supernova) has to be at least 1.5 - 3 times the mass of the Sun in order for it to collapse into a black hole.
The remnants of a smaller star (but still larger than the sun; the sun is too small to become a supernova) will probably stop collapsing after the supernova at the neutron star stage.

∙ 12y agoYes. Black holes are created when the core of a massive star runs out of fuel and compacts itself gravitationally. The mass pulls most of the core in, then the rebound expels most of the star's matter into space in a tremendous release of energy. This is either a supernova or (if the star is big enough) a "hypernova." The matter is considered concentrated at a single point (singularity) although the "event horizon" (outer visible limit) is larger for more massive black holes.

∙ 8y agoIt depends on the mass of the star and how much of it is blown away by the supernova. Stars in the range of 10 to 25 times the mass of the sun form neutron stars. Those greater than 40 solar masses form black holes. Those between 25 and 40 solar masses can form either depending on how much of the star is blasted away and how much falls back into the collapsed core.

Do Giant Supernovas create super massive black holes?
No, only small ones, the supermassive ones are at the centre of galaxies.
Most of the star in milky way will end there lives as A. black holes B. red giants C. supernovas D. white dwarfs?
B and D
What is the most common form of black holes in the universe?
Probably stellar mass black holes
Do Gamma ray burst form a black hole?
In an indirect way, yes. Gama rays are the highest-intensity form of electromagnetic energy. They usually indicate a very power energy source. Most black holes are formed by exploding stars called supernovas. These events can be detected as gamma ray bursts.
What is a form of energy coming from black holes?
The energy that comes from black holes is called Hawking radiation.
Can black holes appear out of no where?
no because black holes can only form through supernovas.
When the largest stars die they first become supernovas and then they become?
Black holes
How are black holes supernovas and black holes form?
Supernova happens when a star that is at least 3 times larger than our sun dies, it will be crush by its own gravity. Then boom, supernova. Then the star acts like a sponge, it will get bigger. That star is not a star anymore, it is a black hole.
Do Giant Supernovas create super massive black holes?
No, only small ones, the supermassive ones are at the centre of galaxies.
Do supernovas form black holes why?
A supernova can become a neutron star, or a black hole. Whether it becomes one or the other depends on the mass that remains after the supernova explosion (remember, part of the matter is blown into space). The more massive objects become black holes. As to the "why", this is because after a certain mass limit, there is no known force that can stop gravity.
What are the 5 biggest stars in the universe?
Whatever they were, they probably died as supernovas and ended up as black holes over 12 billion years ago. Maybe they were the seeds of the central black holes in some current galaxies.

Most of the star in milky way will end there lives as A. black holes B. red giants C. supernovas D. white dwarfs?
B and D
Why black holes form Gamma ray burst?
The black holes from Gamma ray usually burst because of their energetic form.
What is the most common form of black holes in the universe?
Probably stellar mass black holes
What do black holes form?
Black holes are sort of the final stage of stellar evolution; they don't form much else. Two black holes may merge to form a larger one, and after a very, very long time, they will evaporate.
Do Gamma ray burst form a black hole?
In an indirect way, yes. Gama rays are the highest-intensity form of electromagnetic energy. They usually indicate a very power energy source. Most black holes are formed by exploding stars called supernovas. These events can be detected as gamma ray bursts.
