No. White dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes are three different things. With the exception of some black holes, all are remnants of the cores of dead stars at various degrees of collapse.
A white dwarf is the remains of a low to medium mass star consisting of atomic nuclei surrounded by electrons from electron shells that were crushed by gravity. White dwarfs can be up to about two times the mass of the sun and are a few thousand miles across, some about the same size as Earth.
A neutron star is a remnant of a massive star that has collapsed even further. In a neutron star the atoms have been crushed so that neutrons are most of what remains. Neutron stars range from 2 to 3 times the mass of the sun and are roughly 12 to 25 miles across.
A black hole is the remains of a very massive star that has completely collapsed into, at least theoretically, an infinitely dense point. Around the black hole is an area where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, not even light. Stellar mas black holes range from 3 to 30 times the mass of the sun. There are also supermassive black holes, which are millions to billions times the mass of the sun. It is not known how supermassive black holes form.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
When its fusion stops a star will become either a black hole a neutron star or?
When fusion stops in a star it will start to fuse helium and will become a red giant.
Why is it rare for a star to become a black hole when it dies?
Because it takes a large amount of mass for the star to end up that way. Most stars will become white dwarfs. A small fraction will become neutron stars. And even smaller fraction will become black holes.
How is degeneracy pressure related to white dwarfs and neutron stars?
White dwarfs are prevented from collapsing further by electron degeneracy pressure. If the mass of a stellar remnant exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, about 1.4 solar masses, gravity will overcome this pressure and form a much smaller and denser neutron star. Further collapse in a neutron star is prevented by neutron degeneracy pressure up until the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit of about 3 solar masses, at which point gravity causes a complete collapse, forming a black hole.
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 stars have the highest densities?
Black holes, neutron stars, and the white dwarfs
What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.
When blue stars die they become white dwarfs?
No. Blue stars will generally leave behind neutron stars or black holes.
What stellar remnants can form when stars die?
When a star dies, it can leave behind different types of stellar remnants depending on its mass. Some examples include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. White dwarfs are formed from the remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are formed from the remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed from the remnants of the most massive stars.
Do medium size stars become black holes?
No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.
What is the difference between stars that become white dwarfs stars that become neutron stars and stars that become black holes?
The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.
What is a star that has collapsed after using its fuel?
A collapsed star after using up its fuel is called a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, depending on its mass. White dwarfs are remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed when very massive stars collapse.
What are remnants of low mass stars?
Remnants of low mass stars include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, depending on the mass of the original star. White dwarfs are remnants of stars similar in mass to our Sun, while neutron stars and black holes are remnants of more massive stars. These remnants are formed after the star exhausts its nuclear fuel and undergoes a supernova explosion.
What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
Medium size stars become black holes true or false?
False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.
What is the name for older stars?
"Main sequence" stars are no longer new, and are just cookin' along for millions of years. "Main sequence" stars, depending on their weight and whether they orbit another nearby star can get old and become red dwarfs, white dwarfs, black dwarfs, neutron stars, novas, or super-novas.
What is the color of oldest star?
The oldest stars are now mostly either white dwarfs or neutron stars. A few of the largest may be black holes.
