No, all a black dwarf is is a white dwarf that has cooled, it's mostly carbon and oxygen and nitrogen. A black hole forms when the gravity of a collapsing star is able to overcome all opposing forces.

Only the very largest of stars end up as black holes. Typical stars such as the sun end up as white dwarves, which eventually cool to black dwarves. Largest starts that aren't large enough to form black holes end up as neutron stars.

Whether a star turns into a black hole when its fuel is exhausted depends on factors such as its mass, and how much of its outer envelope it sheds. If enough mass remains, it might either collapse to a white dwarf, to a neutron star if more massive, or if even more massive, to a black hole.

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

Not usually. Only a very small percentage of stars become black holes. Most leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf.

Only if a star is massive enough to cause a supernova when it dies. Then yes it can be a black hole

Whats the life cycle of the stars?

A star's life cycle starts from a nebula. For giant stars, the star turns into a huge star to a super red giant to a supernova to a black hole. A sun-like star turns to a red giant, then a planetary nebula, a white dwarf, and then a black dwarf.

When a nebula collapses under the right conditions it forms a star. Larger stars end their life-cycle as black holes. For more information try searching for "stellar evolution."

Do all stars end their life cycle the same way?

No because smaller stars can live longer than bigger stars and the big stars wont live as long but will end in a very violent explosion.That can result in a major supernova and even a black hole smaller stars will die in a much less violent way.


How do stars begin to shine?

After stars are created in nebulae with dust and gas, they can begin the process of fusing hydrogen to make helium. Voila!, one star coming up!


What do the different sizes of stars mean?

Hard to explain. Usually stars get bigger if they grow. Very large stars have shorter life. A very big star can end it's life as a super nova or a black hole.
