When a large star dies, it becomes a black hole because it is no longer hot enough to support itself against gravity

A supergiant star is a huge star that is usually in the last stages of its lifetime. When a supergiant star dies, the outer shell explodes into what is called a supernova, and the inside implodes into a very dense mass. If the star is massive enough, the force of the implosion is so immense that nothing can stop the collapse, therefore, it collapses forever and ever, and this is how black holes form.

the fact that a black hole is formed when a star collapses, and a supernova is a star that collapses. the difference is that a black hole is formed when a star collapses completley

None at all. One is an exploding star, the other is a large star at the end of it's life, and the last two are stellar remnants resulting from a supernova explosion

How big does a supergiant have to be to form a black hole?

BIG! A supergiant must be at least eight times the size of our sun to create a force as strong as a black hole. And one million earths can fit into our sun, imagine that eight times; That's eight million earths!

It is believed that quasars are most likely caused by supermassive black holes. Matter falling into the black hole would emit the radiation that has been observed.


How do black holes and vacuums relate by size?

The mass of a black hole determines its "size" or diameter of the event horizon. The relationship between mass and radius (Schwarzchild radius) is described by a formula in which the size is proportional to the gravitational constant and mass of the black hole and inversely proportional to the square of the speed of light.
