Which type of star is produced when a large star collapses in a supernova?

When a large star collapses in a supernova, it can produce either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star. A neutron star forms when the core of the star collapses but the outer layers are ejected, while a black hole forms when the core collapses completely.


What can be formed when a star collapses?

Depending on the size of the star: a neutron star or a black hole-


When a star collapses to half size what does the gravitational field at its surface do?

When a star collapses to half its size, its gravitational field at the surface increases. This is because the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the star and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the object. As the star collapses, its mass remains the same but the distance to its center decreases, leading to a stronger gravitational field at its surface.


what is a collapsed star ?

A collapsed star is a term used to describe a "dead" star, which is a star that has come to the end of its lifetime and just collapses on itself. A black hole


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 do you call it when a star explodes as a supernova and collapses?

pulsar star and if it collapses even more a Black hole.


Why are black holes formed?

black holes can be formed in a supernova explosion if the mass of the star is largeenoughusually they are created when a massive and dense star like a neutron star collapses


What is produced when the outer core of a star explodes after the star collapses?

Supernova

What happens when massive stars collapse?

The collapses star gets squeezed by collapses gas and turns into a black hole.


When a star collaspeses what will form?

when a star collapses it is called a supernova, i learned about it in science today!


What happens when a star is too small to be a black hole but too big to be a neutron star?

There's no mass range that's between "collapses into a neutron star or pulsar" and "collapses into a black hole". It'll be one or the other.


What starts a black hole?

it simply starts when a star collapses


What happens to a star when it has used up all its fuel?

It collapses.


Is it true that supernovas are explosions in which a massive star collapses?

yep
