How does a nebula go from a nebula to a black hole?

Answer 1

Neutrons stars are smallest stars in the Universe, with diameters of just 10-30 km! They are very compact and denese bodies, formed during a supernova explosion. When the tiny particles of the exploded star-atoms merge together, a neutron star is born. During this process of merging, electrons in the atoms are squeezed with protons, whch results in the formation of neutrons. This merging occurs because of the intense gravitational collapse. Once the star is formed, it is regular as any other star, barring its size and weight. It is so dense that is a sugar cube sized portion of the star would weigh as much as the people on Earth. It has a very powerful magmetic feild, and spins about 100 times a second.

Answer 2

The first step in the process from nebula to black hole is the collapse of the nebula under the pressure of gravity to form a proto-star. The forces acting on the star will have to be high enough to start hydrogen fusion, and given the size a star needs to be to end it's life as a black hole there may be heavier element fusion.

When the star has reacted all available fuel it will explode before contracting rapidly, with a star of sufficient size the density as it contracts will become high enough for the formation of a black hole.

Answer 3

A nebula can go through several stages of stellar evolution before potentially forming a black hole. If the nebula is massive enough, it may undergo gravitational collapse and form a massive star, which can eventually end its life in a supernova explosion, leaving behind a black hole. The formation of a black hole involves the collapse of the star's core under intense gravity, leading to an infinitely dense region with an event horizon, known as a black hole.
