Since the radius of a black hole is directly proportional to the mass it contains, one can safely say a massive star can make a black hole big; the more massive the star, the larger the black hole. Note that, depending on composition and some other factors, a heavy star may or may not blow out much of its mass in a spectacular explosion (supernova) and the small remnant it leaves behind may or may not be a black hole - it could potentially become a pulsar or neutron star instead. Black holes may also be companions to massive stars, and their size governed by how much mass they accumulate - since the star may supply the black hole with a fairly continuous stream of matter captured by gravitational effects from the companion star and thus the black hole continues to grow in size.

∙ 15y agoBlack holes are made when a star explodes.When our sun explodes it wont create a black hole. It is way to small.The star has to be 10x bigger then our sun to create a black hole

What happen if a quark star accidentally collide with a black hole?
a big bash
What is bigbang and black hole?
Big Bang: When space started. Gas, dust and rock particles explode from it and eventually forms celestial bodies. Black Hole: When a star dies or loses its brightness, develops into a dead star or a black hole.
What do you call a dead star caves in itself due to its very big mass?
black hole
How big is Neptunes Black hole?
Neptune does not have a black hole
Black holes refer to?
black holes come from dead stars like our sun it may turn into one when they die they become really big then explode and some become into a black hole if not it becomes into a black or white dwarf
Is the big black hole the sun?
No. The Sun is a star - as you can see if you look out of the window.

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

How can the center of a collapsed star form of black hole?
When the star stops producing energy, there is no more radiation pressure to offset the gravitation. In this case (if the remaining mass of the star is big enough), it will collapse to a black hole.

What can a super giant star exsplode as?
when a big star explodes it makes a supper nova if the star gets big enough it will collapse and create a black hole
Will the big bang make a black hole?
no black holes are stars
What happens when a star is too small to be a black hole but too big to be a neutron star?
There's no mass range that's between "collapses into a neutron star or pulsar" and "collapses into a black hole". It'll be one or the other.
What is a collapsed star with stromg gravitational pull?
Depending on how big the star was, it could be a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
What do you call a dead star caves in itself due to its very big mass?
black hole
Could you cover the black hole?
i doubt it because it sucks in everything and it covers light. it could suck in the sun with ease. it itself is a star that has blown up. the star has to be realy big to become a black hole
