Well, isn't that fascinating? Now, when a star has used up all its nuclear fuel and its core collapses under gravity, if the remnant is about 3 times more massive than our own Sun, it can become a black hole. Nature is full of these incredible, beautiful mysteries - just like happy little accidents waiting to be discovered.
What else can I help you with?
What are two possible results of a supernova explosion?
The core of the star can collapse to form a neutron star or a black hole. The outer layers of the star can be ejected into space, enriching the surrounding interstellar medium with heavy elements.
A collapsed star from which light cannot escape?
A black hole is a collapsed star with such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape from it. This phenomenon occurs when a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity. The boundary surrounding a black hole, beyond which nothing can escape, is called the event horizon.
What is a star in which light cannot escape because of the immense gravitational pull at its surface called?
A star in which light cannot escape because of its immense gravitational pull at its surface is called a black hole.
A star that has collapsed under gravity?
A collapsed star is typically referred to as a black hole. Black holes form when massive stars run out of fuel and collapse under gravity, creating a region of spacetime with such intense gravitational pull that nothing, not even light, can escape from it.
What can be formed when a star collapses?
Depending on the size of the star: a neutron star or a black hole-
How massive does a star need to be (at least) in order to form a black hole when it collapses?
Current estimates suggest that a star must be at least 25 times the mass of the sun to form a black hole. In most cases only a fraction of the star's mass will actually go in to forming the black hole.
How does a black hole and a neutron star form?
when a star dies
What does an exploding star form into?
Either a neutron star or a black hole.
When does the black hole form?
A black hole is formed when a star or other large body collapses on itself.
What does the black hole do to the star?
A black hole originated as a star, that is, the star converted to a black hole.
What remains after supernova?
A neutron star or a pulsar, or a black hole.
When will a black hole form?
after a neutron star collapses on itself
How many star can form a black hole?
The death of any star greater than about 5 times the mass of our Sun is likely to result in a black hole.
What are the requirements for a star that can form a black hole?
A star must have a mass several times greater than our Sun's to form a black hole. When the star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it collapses under gravity, leading to a supernova explosion, which can leave behind a black hole if the remnant mass is sufficient.
Did black hole creats another star?
A black hole does not create a star. A black hole is formed when a star dies.
Can any black hole turn into a neutron star?
No, black holes cannot turn into neutron stars. Neutron stars form from the remnants of supernova explosions of massive stars, while black holes are formed from the gravitational collapse of massive stars. Once a black hole is formed, it will remain a black hole and will not transform into a neutron star.
What can form after the supernova of a red giant?
After the supernova of a red giant, remnants such as a neutron star or a black hole can form, depending on the mass of the original star. If the star was especially massive, it may also result in a supermassive black hole or a hypernova explosion.
