It is uncertain how supermassive black holes form. Some scientists suggest they form from the simple collapse of clouds of gas too massive to form stars. They might also originate as large stellar mass black holes that form the the deaths of massive stars and the merge into a single black hole. All supermassive black holes grow by consuming more matter.

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.


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.


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.


What will most massive stars form?

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.


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.

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.


Where are neutron stars located at in the universe?

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


When do black holes appear mostly?

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


Do stars ever into black holes?

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


Do black holes just happen?

No. Most black holes form when an extremely massive star dies and the core collapses, becoming a black hole.


Black holes that form during massive supernovae?

Please clarify what your question is.


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.


Do stars ever turn into black?

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

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.
