It depends on the mass of the star. When massive stars die the result is usually an enormous explosion called a supernova, but the core will collapse to form a dense remnant. If the remnant is less than 3 times the mass of the sun then it will form a neutron star. If it is greater than 3 times the mass of the sun it will form a black hole. Extremely massive stars may collapse directly into a black hole with no supernova.

It explodes. When a massive star dies the core collapses while the outer layers are blown away in an explosion.

What do red giants become after they run out of fuel?

They explode as a supernova/hypernova to form a planetary nebula/black hole.


What happens to a massive star after it runs out of fuel?

It will implode and depending on its size it will become a white dwarf, go nova, supernova. Extremely larger will form a black hole. .


Will any stars in our galaxy that when supernova will turn into a black hole?

Yes actually. But it well basically take billions of years for a hyper-novae star to explode and form. And supernovae do not form Black Holes, they make quasars or neutron stars. Hypernovae- a result of a hyper-class star to explode- will leave a black hole.


How did coal and uranium form?

Coal is produced by sunlight falling on plants. These plants then get fossilised to form the coal.Uranium is formed by Stars as they explode in Supernova explosions.


What can form after the supernova of a red giant?

What will form is a neutron star or a black hole. (Strictly speaking, it's a red supergiant that becomes a supernova.)


Explosion of a supernova leave behind?

A neutron star, or a black hole. Which it is, depends on the mass that remains after the supernova explosion. Above a certain mass limit, a black hole will form.


Conclusion of the canis major?

When the canis majoris explodes, it will create a supernova of over 30000 degrees. A supernova is a huge explosion of fire. After the supernova, a black hole will form. Black holes form when a star explodes. But it cant just be a star. It has to be a star 10x greater then our sun. The canis majoris is way bigger then just 10x. So when it explodes it will create a black hole much bigger then normal size.


Where did copper form?

Copper can only form in supernova explosions, when a dead star collapses to become either a neutron star or a black hole.


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.


Is supernovae and supernova the same thing?

"Supernovae" is a plural form of "supernova"
