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.

Which stars do not have nuclear fusion occurring in their core?

All stars "burn" by the process of nuclear fusion. When fusion has been completed, the star dies. That can occur in several different ways and the interested party could look into the topic of stellar evolution. Neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs are examples of end stages of stellar evolution. Some stars never really reach the stage of fusion and such large objects are called brown dwarfs. If Jupiter were not a planet, it might be deemed a brown dwarf.


What is 2 ways a star can die?

A star can die in several ways, but two common methods are through supernova explosions and the formation of white dwarfs. For massive stars, once they exhaust their nuclear fuel, they may collapse under their own gravity, leading to a supernova explosion, which can leave behind a neutron star or black hole. In contrast, medium-sized stars like our Sun will shed their outer layers, forming a planetary nebula, while the core remains as a white dwarf that will gradually cool over time.


How do stars more massive than four solar masses evolve into neutron stars?

I've seen that figure of 4 times the Sun's mass, but the usual number given is at least 8 times the Sun's mass. Anyway here's the answer: The general idea is that, depending on how much mass is left once the star runs out of fuel, it may become a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole. A star like the Sun goes through a "red giant" star stage then becomes white dwarf star. Stars that are much more massive than the Sun go through a "supergiant" stage. They finally run out of fuel. The core of the star is now mainly iron. If, after running out of fuel, the amount of mass left in the core is more than a certain limit - the Chandrasekhar limit, currently believed to be about 1.39 times the mass of the Sun - the core's "electron degeneracy" pressure is not enough to resist the gravitational force on the core. In this case, the core of the star collapses into a neutron star or black hole and causes a supernova explosion.

How are black holes created in the universe?

By the gravitational collapse of massive stars - once they stop producing energy.


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 determines if the sun will turn into a black hole?

The Sun probably won't turn into a black hole. What determines whether a certain star becomes a black hole is basically the amount of mass left over, once the star runs out of energy. Less massive stars turn into white dwarves; more massive stars into neutron stars; and the most massive of all, into black holes.


What did black holes used to be?

Most black holes were once the cores of very large stars that collapsed.


Can only stars become black holes or can other planets and massive objects become them too?

Theoretically, a massive enough cloud of gas or dust, too massive to form stars, could collapse into a black hole. This is one ideas as to how the supermassive black holes in the cores of galaxies may have formed. Planets and other such objects cannot become black holes because they do not have enough force to completely collapse. Once it forms, a planet is about as compressed as it will ever be.


How are a black holes started?

It is believed that they usually start from the gravitational collapse of a massive star - once it runs out of fuel.


Could quasars be imploding black holes?

Quasars - short for "quasi-stellar radio objects" - are believed to be the super-massive black holes in the cores of large galaxies as they are in the process of forming, merging, and consuming nearby stars and star systems. It is likely that our own Milky Way was once a quasar, but that the super-massive black hole has already consumed most of the nearby mass and settled down to a tranquil old age.


Are more massive stars the brightest and hottest types of star for their whole lives?

Yes, more massive stars are generally the brightest and hottest types of stars during their lifetimes. They have higher temperatures and luminosities due to their greater mass, which leads to more intense nuclear fusion in their cores. However, their lifespans are much shorter than those of less massive stars, as they exhaust their nuclear fuel more quickly. Once they reach the end of their life cycles, they can explode as supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes.


Why do stars turn into black whole?

"Black hole", not "black whole". The reason massive stars turn into a black hole is because, once they run out of fuel (and no longer have the radiation pressure to keep them blown up), there is no force that can stop the gravitational collapse.


Why do some stars become white dwarfs and others become neutron stars and black holes?

Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star


What forms when a star is swallowed by a black hole?

Simple answer: nothing Real answer: we don't know after the sun is torn apart by the massive amounts of gravity releasing massive amounts of radiation (which is one of the ways we can find Black Holes), once the remnants fall into the Black Hole that is where our understanding ends. I would take a new set of physics (completely different to our own) to understand Black Holes


Why are black holes and white drarfs often called stellar corpses?

Once a star has become either a black hole or a white dwarf, then nothing further can happen to them. That's the end of their "life" or "history" or "progress" or whatever word you want to use.
