"explode as supernovae". These are called Type II supernovae and sometimes a neutron star is formed, not a black hole.

How does a black holes acquire greatest mass?

Most black holes are stellar mass black holes with masses comparable to those of large stars as they form from the collapse of massive stars. Scientists know of the existence of supermassive black holes that are millions to billions of times the mass of our sun and can be found in the centers of most galaxies. Scientists still do not know how these black holes become so massive.


What are the 3 corpses of stars?

The three corpses of stars are white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. White dwarfs are remnants of low to medium-mass stars that have shed their outer layers, leaving behind a hot core. Neutron stars form from the collapse of massive stars in supernova explosions and are incredibly dense, composed mostly of neutrons. Black holes result from the gravitational collapse of very massive stars, creating regions in space with gravity so strong that not even light can escape.


Why do new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the central bulge?

Stars form in all parts of our galaxy - not just the "arms". Stars do indeed form in the central bulge. The vast majority of hot, young, blue stars are formed in the arms, but stars also form in the central bulge as well.


What would happen if two neutron stars collided?

In all probability - not that this scenario would happen - but the resulting combination of masses, would push the combined "stars" over the Chandrasekhar limit and a black hole would form.


How are supernatural black holes made?

NothingGravity isn't made of anything. It is not an object and is not made of matter; therefore, it has no mass. Gravity is a force. If you use the Search tool at the top of the page and search on "gravity," many questions will be displayed that you can explore.*While this is the currently the accepted answer by society, in truth no one knows what gravity truly is. The term "force" is a generalization used to define what they do not understand.Addition:There is a theory that gravity is made up of massless, uncharged particles called "Gravitons". This theory isn't widely accepted because gravity doesn't work on a small atomic scale. The theory is called Quantum Gravity.

Do stars ever into black holes?

Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.


When do black holes appear mostly?

Most black holes are believed to form when very massive stars die.


Why all dead big stars do not form black holes?

All dead big stars do not form black holes because sometimes the collapse of the star is stopped at a smaller size before it becomes a black hole.


Do stars ever turn into black?

Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.


Where did a black hole come from?

Most black holes form when massive stars exhaust their fuel and their cores collapse. There are also supermassive black holes at the centers of most galaxies. Scientists are not sure how supermassive black holes form.


Medium size stars become black holes true or false?

False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.


Where are neutron stars located at in the universe?

Mostly in galaxies, where they can form Super Massive Black Holes.


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.


How do black holes form and why are black holes hot?

Black holes form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity. The intense gravitational pull of a black hole traps everything, including light. Black holes are hot because of the high temperatures and energy generated by the matter falling into them, which creates intense radiation and heat.

What is more common in our galaxy white dwarfs or stellar mass black holes?

There are more white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars can form black holes. White dwarfs form from low to medium mass stars, which far outnumber the supermassive ones.


What force causes extremely high mass stars to turn into black holes instead of nuetron stars?

Black holes are formed by super massive stars when they collapse. Less massive stars will form neutron stars. Therefore, the original size and mass of the star will determine if a black hole will be created when the star collapses.
