Simply put, massive stars come from massive clouds called neblulae.

Why are black holes formed?

black holes can be formed in a supernova explosion if the mass of the star is largeenoughusually they are created when a massive and dense star like a neutron star collapses

A super giant


What forms massive stars?

Stars are made mostly from hydrogen. The more hydrogen available when a star is formed, the more massive it will be.


Do black holes and neutron stars have any connection?

Yes, both black holes and neutron stars are remnants of the death of massive stars. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses but does not produce a black hole. Black holes are formed when the core of a massive star collapses beyond the neutron star stage.


As heavier elements are formed by fusion a massive star expands into?

As heavier elements are formed by fusion in the core, a massive star will eventually exhaust its nuclear fuel and trigger a supernova explosion. This explosion will generate immense energy, leading to the production and dispersal of even more heavy elements into space.


What happens when heavier elements are formed by fusion then a massive star expands?

yes as heavy elements are used for fuel the star expands this is what will happen to the earth it will swell to a red giant engulfing the inner 3 planets as it slowly dies


What is the differences between super nova and neutron star?

A supernova is when a massive star explodes. A neutron star is what can be formed after a supernova explosion. See related questions


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.


Is it true a black hole is no more massive that the star from which it was formed?

For a stellar black hole, yes. Mass cannot be created or destroyed. Generally a black hole will be less massive than the star from which it formed, as much of the star's mass gets blasted when the star dies in a supernova. A black hole can gain mass over time as matter falls into it.


Is the sun a massive star or a dwarf star?

its not a massive or a dwarf  star


What is a massive collapsed star?

A massive collapsed star is a dead star.


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.
