Stars have to be 100 times more massive than our sun in order to become a black hole. When the star dies, it explodes violently (which is called a supernova) and then gravitational collapse causes it to form into a black hole.

Only the most massive ones. The mass remaining after a star runs out of its fuel must be, at the least, somewhere around 2-3 solar masses. Note that a supernova explosion can shed a significant part of a star's mass.

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.


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.

Do all-stars tern into blackholes when they die?

Not all stars do but stars can turn into black holes. Small ones turn in to a black dwarf star when it dies. Medium ones turn in to a neutron then in to a red giant star and then to white dwarf star Large size stars becomes a blackhole..........


Where is the nearest black hole in space right now?

yes, there can be millions of black holes for all we know because our galaxy is ever expanding and planets and stars die everyday we just don't know about it. When a star dies it creates a supernova which in turn could turn into a black hole.

What force causes extremely high mass stars to turn into black holes instead of nuetron stars?

Black holes are formed by super massive stars when they collapse. Less massive stars will form neutron stars. Therefore, the original size and mass of the star will determine if a black hole will be created when the star collapses.
