You will know what a star becomes when it dies based off of its mass. If the mass of the star is less than, around, or slightly greater than the sun's mass, it will become a white dwarf. If the mass of the star is a few solar masses, a supernova will happen and a neutron star will be created. If the mass of the star is many times that of the sun, it will explode in a giant supernova called a hypernova and create a black hole.

What circumstance will a star become a black hole?

Generally, a black hole will be created when a star 3x (or higher) more massive than our Sun dies, it becomes a black hole. It can vary based on the environment around it and the very materials making up the star as it dies.

Can an exploding star create a black hole?

Yes, a star Super Novas when it dies and sometimes the explosion is so vast, it creates a fissure that becomes a black hole.

When does the dying phase of a massive star begin?

The dying phase of a massive star begins when it runs out of usable hydrogen that it can convert to helium. Once it becomes a red giant, it slowly dies out.


What is the temperature of a star when it dies?

The temperature of the star when it dies is 350 degrees celsius


How does the mass of a star determine how it dies?

I believe if its over a certain mass it becomes 2 forms of super giant, then usually becomes supernova and cause a black hole. If under a certain mass it may expand slightly but then become a black or white dwarf star.


Do stars make a star?

A star is created once enough dust/gas gather up (called nebulae) and the gravity from a nearby star or shockwave from a nearby supernova causes it to contract. Once a star dies, it blows and becomes a nebulae again, recreating the entire process over and over again to repeat until the end of time. (unless the star becomes a black hole.)
