Can only stars become black holes or can other planets and massive objects become them too?

Theoretically, a massive enough cloud of gas or dust, too massive to form stars, could collapse into a black hole. This is one ideas as to how the supermassive black holes in the cores of galaxies may have formed. Planets and other such objects cannot become black holes because they do not have enough force to completely collapse. Once it forms, a planet is about as compressed as it will ever be.

Will an object that is pulled into a black hole become more massive?
no
If 2 black holes join together what hole will it become?
A more massive black hole.
Do medium size stars become black holes true or false?
False. Only the most massive stars will become black holes.
What will a star that's 1000 times as massive as the sun ultimately become?
I don't think it's possible to have such a massive star, according to present theories. Still, a very massive star should become a black hole, ultimately.
Can any black hole turn into a neutron star?
No. A black hole will remain a black hole. A neutron star is a remnant of a star not massive enough to become a black hole.
Can planets become black holes?
The only thing that can end up a black hole is a star with about ten times more mass than our Sun. Planets are nowhere near that massive.
Can only stars become black holes.... or can other planets and massive objects become them too?
No - so far there is no body that is or was not a star that has enough mass (at least 3x our Sun) to become a blackhole. A planet doesn't have the internal energy to build up the gravitational field, comets etc are just not big enough.
Are black holes born from dying planets?
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.
Do only planets exert gravity?
No. Anything with mass exerts a gravitational pull. The strength of that pull is directly proportional to an object's mass and most objects do not have enough mass of their gravity to be noticeable. It starts to become noticeable with objects on the level of large asteroids and comets and small moons. Stars, which are far more massive than planets, have far stronger gravity. Black holes have the strongest gravity in the universe.
Will Pluto become a black hole?
No. Pluto is nowhere near massive enough to become a black hole.
What has the most gravity in the universe?
Perhaps the most massive of all "singular" objects in the universe is a super-massive black hole.Certainly a galaxy that has many black holes in it and billions and billions of stars has more mass and more gravity than any star or smaller galaxy. But as regards "point objects" in our uinverse. The most massive black holes, the so-called super-massive black holes, are the ones with the most gravity.
Will an object that is pulled into a black hole become more massive?
no
Can a black hole produce energy?
Sure. Do some reading on quasars - they are among the brightest objects in the universe. Also consider that black holes accelerate gases in their accretion disk, and that as these gases cross the even horizon, they have become so hot that they emit X-rays. The massive gravity of the black hole produces massive acceleration.
Do massive stars become neutron stars?
Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.
If 2 black holes join together what hole will it become?
A more massive black hole.
Which objects contain super massive black holes?
As best we can determine, every galaxy has one in its center.
Do medium size stars become black holes true or false?
False. Only the most massive stars will become black holes.
