Well the probability of a star becoming a black hole is quite simple .It depends on the mass of the former star .If the former star had low mass then it would become a white dwarf at the end of its evolutionary stages .But if the Star had high mass then it would detonate which is called a supernova .After the super nova then it would do either two things it would turn into a pulsar (spinning neutron star) .If it went the other way then the gravity on the super nova will collapse into the singularity and create infinite density and then the remains is called a black hole.

What is another name for dead stars?

If it was not a huge star, it will probably become a black dwarf. If it was a huge star, there is a chance of it becoming a black hole.


What remains after supernova?

A neutron star or a pulsar, or a black hole.


Can any black hole turn into a neutron star?

No. A black hole will remain a black hole. A neutron star is a remnant of a star not massive enough to become a black hole.


Is the black hole in space a blue star?

No. A black hole may be the remnant of the core of what was once a blue star, but the black hole itself is as black as anything can possibly be.


How does pulsar become a black hole?

A pulsar will not become a black hole because they do not implode and that is one of the key features of a star becoming a black hole. a pulsar is highly magnetized and gives off a beam of electromagnetic radiation, when viewed from a distance it will look as though it is flashing.

What does the black hole do to the star?

A black hole originated as a star, that is, the star converted to a black hole.


What happens if a star gets destroyed?

You can't just destroy it - it would take a huge amount of energy to tear it apart. About the only way I can think of to "destroy" it - in away - is that it collides with a black hole, and the mass of the neutron star becoming part of the black hole - or the neutron star itself becoming a black hole, if its mass increases (due to additional mass falling into the neutron star).

Did black hole creats another star?

A black hole does not create a star. A black hole is formed when a star dies.

Do black holes just happen?

No. Most black holes form when an extremely massive star dies and the core collapses, becoming a black hole.


A collapsed star from which light cannot escape?

The collapses star gets squeezed by collapses gas and turns into a black hole.

Yes black hole is last stage of a star

Yes. A black hole is a collapsed star.
