When a Super Giant or Hyper Giant Star nears the end of it life, it goes through a process of shedding layers of itself, a little like onion layers cast off one after the other. When it reaches a level where it takes more energy to convert its fissionable material than it produces (this is normally iron) Then a catastrophic explosion takes place called a Super Nova. The Star has two option here depending on its mass. If after having gone Nova it has less than 9, but more than 3, masses of our sun it will collapse into a Neutron Star. If however it has still got more than 9 times more mass than our Sun then the gravity will collapse it down into a black hole. Black holes are the vacuum cleaners of the universe and are also believed to be at the centre of every galaxy. If the theory is correct every Galaxy at its core has a Super Giant Black hole helping keep things in it orbit around the Galaxy.

Black holes are the most massive objects known, and they have the greatest gravity. The reason they are important is that they help form galaxies and the universe itself by becoming "binding forces" because of their extreme gravity. Additionally, they are also puzzles that challenge astrophysicists to model them and their behavior. Many consider them the most dangerous objects in the universe because they can "swallow" whole stars and stellar systems.

The problem with black holes is that if anything gets to the event horizon of it (an event horizon is an undetectable surface of a black hole which marks the point of no return) nothing can escape its massive gravity, not even light (which travels more than 5 billion miles per second).

The point in the center of a black hole we call a singularity; a region of space where the known laws of physics appear to break down; a point of zero volume where the mass is concentrated, density is infinite and spacetime curvature or gravitational pull are infinite and time itself stops. In a spinning black hole the singularity is shown to be ring-shaped.

They aren't, particularly. They do seem to be present in the cores of most galaxies, but as far as I know the jury's still out on whether they form there, or they serve as "nucleation points" for the formation of galaxies.

The point inside a black hole is called the singularity. This is where all of the matter in a black hole is.

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.


How long will a black hole to turn on axis?

If a black hole has spin, it will spin forever.


How do you take the sharks to the black hole in poptropica?

You get the shark to come near you and follow you to the black hole, then when you get to the black hole you turn a let the shark in. Have fun!


Can earth turn in to a black hole?

As a short answer, no.


Why do stars turn into black whole?

"Black hole", not "black whole". The reason massive stars turn into a black hole is because, once they run out of fuel (and no longer have the radiation pressure to keep them blown up), there is no force that can stop the gravitational collapse.


Is there really black hole?

there is belived to be a black holes but is about billions of miles away, when a star exploxed it could go into a supernova and i am not sure about this but it may turn into a black hole.


Why do stars turn into black hole?

'Cause once you go black, you never go back.


Is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

No, the sun is too small. For a star to turn into a black hole, the star needs to measure 25 or more solar masses. The sun weighs in at 1 solar mass. Therefore, a star needs to be 25 times the mass of the sun to turn into a black hole.


Can a black hole turn you inside out?

No, it would tear you apart.


Is there a possibility the sun could go super nova or turn into a black hole?

No. Our Sun isn't massive enough to go supernova, or to turn into a black hole. A star needs to be more than 3 times more massive than our Sun in order to become a black hole.


What determines if the sun will turn into a black hole?

The Sun probably won't turn into a black hole. What determines whether a certain star becomes a black hole is basically the amount of mass left over, once the star runs out of energy. Less massive stars turn into white dwarves; more massive stars into neutron stars; and the most massive of all, into black holes.


What is the fate of a large star?
