Black holes are formed when a really big star dies out. When that happens, the outward force of the star's nuclear fusion cannot overcome its gravity, so it collapses. If the star has more than about four times the mass of our sun, nothing can stop the star's collapse, so it becomes smaller and denser until it becomes a singularity. The singularity's gravitational force is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. This is called a black hole.

Whether a star will turn into a white dwarf or a black hole depends on the original mass of the star. The largest stars result the smallest spheres. If is less than 1.4 times the suns mass ,the the gravity among its particles wont be able to overcome the tendency of the electrons, protons,and neutrons to remain separate. the forces will balance when the star has become a white dwarf,a neutron star, or a black hole.

This information comes from a literature worksheet
A star died and blew up creating a gamma ray flare which is so powerful you can see one from across the entire universe I know this because NASA detected one so strong you can see without a telescope and that my friend is where black holes come from. Like the one at the center of our galaxy

Was the earth formed by black holes scattered throughout the galaxy?

No. Earth was formed by the accretion of material in the protoplanetary disk around the newly formed sun. Black holes were not involved.


Will there be a black hole every day?

No, black holes are not created daily. Black holes are formed from the remnants of massive stars that have undergone supernova explosions or from the collisions of other black holes. The rate at which new black holes are formed in the universe is relatively low.


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


Why are black holes only in space?

Because they formed from stars, which are in space.


What is the current scientific understanding of the formation and characteristics of primordial black holes?

Primordial black holes are thought to have formed in the early universe due to fluctuations in density. These black holes are believed to be small and have a range of masses. They are not formed from the collapse of massive stars like regular black holes. Primordial black holes are difficult to detect because they do not emit light. Scientists are still studying these mysterious objects to better understand their formation and characteristics.


How a quasars are formed?

Quasars are thought to be distant super-massive black holes.


How black holes formed?

Black holes are formed when a big star explodes into a supernova (massive explosion) and the core collapses completely. The explosion carries on until the star forms a singularity (a dense point in which mass can be stuffed in), eventually inside a black hole.


Did galaxies form around super massive black holes?

It's generally believed that galaxies first formed around "ordinary" black holes and over time, they grew into super massive black holes as stars were slowly "consumed" by the black hole.


Do black holes and neutron stars have any connection?

Yes, both black holes and neutron stars are remnants of the death of massive stars. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses but does not produce a black hole. Black holes are formed when the core of a massive star collapses beyond the neutron star stage.


Are black holes terrestrial or gas planets or something else?

Black holes are black holes - they are totally different from anything else in the universe. Most black holes are formed from the collapsed cores of dead stars. There are supermassive black holes in most galaxies, but it is no known how they formed.


Where are some place black holes are located when they are formed?

The Large Hadron Collider in CERN


Are black holes made up of dark matter?

Black holes are not made up of dark matter. Dark matter is a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe's mass, but black holes are formed from the collapse of massive stars.
