A medium sized star becomes a red giant or a white dwarf - depending on the circumstances. If the star collapses further than the white dwarf it can supernova or become a blackhole. Supernova'd stars rarely become blackholes - the density of what is left is nowhere near the density a blackhole needs to be born.

What is a star that explodes in supernova what does its core become?

When a star explodes in a supernova, its core can collapse into either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star. For stars with masses less than about 3 times that of the Sun, the core collapses into a neutron star, which is an extremely dense and compact object. For more massive stars, the core collapses further into a singularity, forming a black hole.


What happens when a Red Giant explodes?

When a Red Giant explodes, it undergoes a supernova event, where the star releases a tremendous amount of energy in a short period. This explosion can produce heavy elements and spread them into space, enriching the surrounding region with these elements. The core of the star can collapse into a neutron star or black hole, depending on its mass.


What is produced when a red giant explodes?

Depends on the mass of the star. A star the size of our Sun will eject its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula with the core of the star exposed, cooling to become a white dwarf. Larger mass stars will explode as a supernova, creating a shock wave of stellar matter, the core either condensing to a neutron star or a black hole.


Why do some stars become super red giant?

Stars become super red giants when they exhaust their core hydrogen fuel and start burning heavier elements. This causes the outer layers of the star to expand and cool, giving them a red appearance. Eventually, the star will undergo a series of nuclear reactions that lead to its expansion before it eventually collapses or explodes.


What happens when a super giant explodes?

When a supergiant star explodes in a supernova, it releases a tremendous amount of energy, temporarily outshining entire galaxies. The explosion also disperses heavy elements into space, helping to enrich the interstellar medium and form new stars and planetary systems. The core of the supergiant collapses, forming a neutron star or black hole.

Which kind of stars become black holes?

Only stars that are much more massive than our sun can become a black hole. When the star dies, it explodes (called a supernova) and then gravitational collapse helps it to form a black hole.


Black holes were once massive stars that used up their?

Black holes can only be created when a super massive star explodes. The star has to be 10x bigger then our sun to make a black hole. When our sun explodes it will just create a white dwarf. When the star runs out of hydrogen and helium it explodes and creates a black hole.

How are neutron stars formed?

Neutron stars are formed when stars with more than 8 times the mass of the Sun run out of fuel and explodes as a supernova. After the star explodes, the core of the star remains, the core would then become a neutron star or a black hole. If the core remain is less than 3 times the mass of the sun, it would become a neutron star.


Can a black hole become full?

No. When matter falls into a black hole it simply increases the black hole's mass, giving it stronger gravity and a larger event horizon.


A star that has collasped after using its fuel?

A star, after using all of it's fuel explodes. We call this a super nova, and after this the star will either become a black dwarf star (or maybe a white dwarf) or it will collapse in on its self creating a black hole.


How long does it take for a star to form after it explodes?

When a star explodes, that's the end of the star. The stellar remnant - either a neutron star or a black hole is created instantly.


A very hot massive star hundreds of times larger than the sun will probably become a?

A black hole.


Conclusion of the canis major?

When the canis majoris explodes, it will create a supernova of over 30000 degrees. A supernova is a huge explosion of fire. After the supernova, a black hole will form. Black holes form when a star explodes. But it cant just be a star. It has to be a star 10x greater then our sun. The canis majoris is way bigger then just 10x. So when it explodes it will create a black hole much bigger then normal size.
