Not enough mass to collapse enough.

  1. light weight stars collapse only to a white hot ball of ordinary nickel-iron alloy, called a white dwarf
  2. medium weight stars can collapse the atoms, forcing the orbiting electrons into the nucleus and converting protons to neutrons, this star is a ball of nearly nothing but neutrons called a neutron star
  3. heavy weight stars can collapse subatomic particles, only these stars can become a black hole

Why do stars rotate around black holes?

because stars come from the blake hole


Can any black hole turn into a neutron star?

No, black holes cannot turn into neutron stars. Neutron stars form from the remnants of supernova explosions of massive stars, while black holes are formed from the gravitational collapse of massive stars. Once a black hole is formed, it will remain a black hole and will not transform into a neutron star.


Where did a black hole come from?

Most black holes form when massive stars exhaust their fuel and their cores collapse. There are also supermassive black holes at the centers of most galaxies. Scientists are not sure how supermassive black holes form.


How come all stars don't form into black holes?

A black hole forms only when the star is large enough that the gravitational pressure exceeds the quantum degeneracy pressure.


Were did a black hole come from?

Black holes came from old big stars that went supernova as it dies. Supernova causes the star to collapse into a black hole


Do stars began there life in a black hole?

No, but some stars end their life by becoming a black hole.


Which kind of stars become black holes?

Only stars that are much more massive than our sun can become a black hole. When the star dies, it explodes (called a supernova) and then gravitational collapse helps it to form a black hole.


What do stars too massive to form neutron stars what do they form?

Stars that are too massive to form neutron stars can undergo a supernova explosion and collapse into a black hole. This process occurs when the core of the star collapses under its own gravity, creating a region with infinite density and strong gravitational pull from which not even light can escape.


Will the sun end its life as a black hole?

No. Only the most massive stars form black holes. When the sun dies it will form a white dwarf.


Why all dead big stars do not form black holes?

All dead big stars do not form black holes because sometimes the collapse of the star is stopped at a smaller size before it becomes a black hole.
