the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf

The stars that become neutron stars have a greater mass and therefore stronger gravity than those that become white dwarfs.

What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?

Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.


What is the difference between stars that become white dwarfs stars that become neutron stars and stars that become black holes?

The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.


What is the difference between stars that become dwarf stars and stars that become neutron stars?

A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.


Could an average stars such as our sun become a neutron star?

No. Stars such as our sun become white dwarfs. Only stars 8-10 times the mass of the sun or more become neutron stars.


Do medium size stars become black holes?

No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.


What do white dwarfs and neutron stars have in common?

Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.


What is the difference between brown dwarfs and Jupiter?

Brown dwarfs are more massive than the planet Jupiter.


When blue stars die they become white dwarfs?

No. Blue stars will generally leave behind neutron stars or black holes.

What is the difference between white dwarfs and black dwarfs?

their colour is one thing but a black dwarf originates from a white dwarf


Do low mass and medium mass stars eventually become neutron stars?

Low and medium sized stars will end up as white dwarfs.


Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?

Stars with a low to medium mass will become white dwarfs. Massive stars will become neutron stars or black holes.
