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.
