Smaller stars do collapse at the end of their lives. Bigger stars die in titanic supernova explosions. The cores of the stars are crushed into neutron stars or black holes, while most of the mass of the star is blown completely away from the star into a nebula.

Billions of years later, some of that nebula material may form planets around new star systems, just as has happened to the Earth.

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).


What happens to stars if they have a large mass?

Stars with a huge mass will consume its fuel faster. in the end it becomes a supernova and soon after (in star-time) it will implode. Depending on its mass, it might become a super-massive black hole or a little dwarf where only one teaspoon of its mass will weigh in at many tons.


Do you think there are more white dwarfs or more black holes in the universe?

More white dwarves. Most stars will become white dwarves at the end of their lifetime. On a "select few" will become black holes - the most massive stars.


Medium size stars become black holes true or false?

False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.

What happens to a larger star?

The size (diameter) of a star can change over its lifetime; sometimes within hours.What really matters is the star's MASS. The most massive stars will produce a lot of radiation, and thus use up their fuel very quickly. After that: Stars up to about 1.4 solar masses will end up as white dwarves. Above that, stars up to somewhere between 2 and 3 solar masses will end up as neutron stars. Above that, stars end up as black holes. The "mass" refers to whatever mass remains once the star uses up its fuel. For instance, a supernova explosion may remove a large part of the star's mass. Likewise, massive stars may lose a lot of mass during their lifetime, through their stellar wind.
