How do super massive rare stars end their life as?
The most massive stars will end up as black holes. Those are the stars that have more than approximately 3 solar masses at the end of their life - i.e., AFTER the supernova explosion.
What type of stars end their life as a supernova?
Massive stars that are at least eight times more massive than the Sun end their life as a supernova. During the explosion, these stars release a tremendous amount of energy and can briefly outshine an entire galaxy.
What is an explosion that occurs at the end of a massive stars life?
its called a super nova.
Do most massive stars collapse into black holes?
Yes, most massive stars (at least eight times the mass of our Sun) will end their life cycle by collapsing into a black hole. This happens after they have gone through the stages of supernova explosion and core collapse.
Which stars primarily end up as black holes?
The most massive stars become black holes.
How do the lives of the most massive stars end?
Less massive stars end up as white dwarfs. More massive stars end up as a supernova or a neutron star or for the really massive stars...as a black hole. As a star ends its time in the main sequence it either becomes a Red Giant and end its life as a White Dwarf or becomes a White Super Giant and ends its life in an explosion (supernova) and if it's really dense it becomes a neutron star or a black hole as mentioned above.
Will the sun end its life as a black hole?
No. Only the most massive stars form black holes. When the sun dies it will form a white dwarf.
What is the most important factor in determining a stars life cycle?
The most important factor in determining a star's life cycle is its mass. The mass of a star determines its size, temperature, and how it will evolve over time. More massive stars have shorter lives and end in a violent supernova explosion, while less massive stars like the Sun will eventually become a white dwarf.
What does a stars life depend upon?
Its mass - the larger its mass the shorter its life.The smallest and least massive stars can last for trillions of years, whereas a massive star may end its life in millions of years.
Medium size stars become black holes true or false?
False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.
What type of stars end their life in supernovae?
Massive stars, typically around eight times the mass of our sun, will end their life in a supernova explosion. During the explosion, the outer layers of the star are expelled into space, leaving behind a dense core known as a neutron star or black hole.
What may happen to massive stars at the end of their cycles?
Massive stars may undergo a supernova explosion at the end of their cycle, leading to the formation of neutron stars or black holes. This explosive event releases a vast amount of energy and is responsible for seeding the surrounding space with heavy elements.
