What happens here is that while the star is converting energy through nuclear fusion, the inward force of gravity is countered by (a) the gas pressure, and (b) the radiation pressure. However, once the nuclear fuel burns out, there is no more radiation pressure; and the gas pressure by itself is not enough to stop the collapse. Thus, the star will collapse - into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole, depending on the remaining mass.

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.
Where are neutron stars located at in the universe?
Mostly in galaxies, where they can form Super Massive Black Holes.
Do most massive stars collapse into black holes?
Most stars end up as white dwarfs. A few become neutron stars. Even fewer become black holes.
What force causes extremely high mass stars to turn into black holes instead of nuetron stars?
Black holes are formed by super massive stars when they collapse. Less massive stars will form neutron stars. Therefore, the original size and mass of the star will determine if a black hole will be created when the star collapses.
What are the remnants of a high mass star?
Massive stars become neutron stars, or black holes (depending on how much mass is left at the end of a star's lifetime).
How are neutron stars and black holes related?
They are both formed when a massive star explodes as a supernova. Which, is produced depends on the original mass of the star.
Which stars primarily end up as black holes?
The most massive stars become black holes.
Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?
Stars with a low to medium mass will become white dwarfs. Massive stars will become neutron stars or black holes.
What do stars too massive to form neutron stars what do they form?
A black hole.
What stars have the highest densities?
Black holes, neutron stars, and the white dwarfs
What is the difference between stars that become white dwarfs stars that become neutron stars and stars that become black holes?
The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.
Do stars ever into black holes?
Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.
