What causes the collapse of a star?

The collapse of a star is based on its age. When it runs out of "Fuel" its inside contracts as the outside expands. it can then super nova or collapse into a tiny star.


How are a black holes started?

It is believed that they usually start from the gravitational collapse of a massive star - once it runs out of fuel.


Is friction responsible for the formation of a star?

No. A star forms when gravity causes a nebula to collapse. As the gas compresses it heats up. eventually, the heat and pressure ignite nuclear fusion.


What happens when a star uses its hydrogen?

When a star uses the hydrogen in its core it will start burning hydrogen in a shell around the core and become a red giant. After that the star will either collapse into a white dwarf or start fusing helium, depending on its mass.


How do all-stars start as?

They begin as a Nebula star, than they evolve into a main sequence star, then to red giant (which would be doomsday), then to white dwarf, then finally, to a super nova star which has a core that could turn into a neutron star.


What makes a high mass star's core collapse?

the high mass star's core collapse because its gravity


What happens star's furnace stops?

Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.


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 big does a supernova gets before it explodes?

A supernova *is* the explosion. A super nova is caused by one of a few stellar events: A) Sudden collapse of a star, which causes massive carbon fusion. B) The gradual accumulation of material by an already collapsed star until the mass is enough to compress the core of the star and start fusion of the element carbon (normal stars fuse hydrogen)


Why does a star die?

When a star has burnt up all of its fuel and energy, it will collapse.


Is it possible for a black hole to form without the collapse of a star?

A higher-mass star will turn into a supergiant, then a supernova. Then, it will collapse and shed it's outer layer and leave behind a white dwarf. However, the star may collapse even further and become a black hole.


When the core in a giant star collapse it create what?

supernova
