Most stars end up as white dwarfs. A few become neutron stars. Even fewer become black holes.
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.
Dead stars are not necessarily black holes. Dead stars can become white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their mass. Only the most massive dead stars can collapse further to become black holes if they exceed the Chandrasekhar limit, around 1.4 times the mass of the Sun.
Yes, massive blue stars can eventually collapse and form black holes at the end of their lives. When a blue star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it undergoes a supernova explosion and if the remaining core is massive enough, it can collapse into a black hole due to gravitational forces.
Most massive stars will eventually form black holes after they go through their life cycle of burning through their nuclear fuel, leading to a supernova explosion. The remnants of the supernova collapse into a dense core, which, if above a certain mass threshold, will become a black hole due to the force of gravity overwhelming other forces.
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.
Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.
Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.
By the gravitational collapse of massive stars - once they stop producing energy.
False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.
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.
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.
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.
Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them. They are formed when massive stars collapse under their own gravity.
Dead stars are not necessarily black holes. Dead stars can become white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their mass. Only the most massive dead stars can collapse further to become black holes if they exceed the Chandrasekhar limit, around 1.4 times the mass of the Sun.
