Stars like the Sun are not massive enough to become a black hole. Instead, in several billion years, the Sun will form a white dwarf. Black holes can be formed if the remaining core of a star after it had gone supernova is very massive (more than 2.5 times the mass of the Sun).

What if a black hole forms by earth?

Black hole formation can not be surreptitiously initiated just anywhere in outer space. Theoretically black holes were formed upon the onset of the Big Bang or can form upon the gravitational collapse of a star of about 3-4 solar masses.


How big is the event horizon of a 100 solar mass black hole?

The event horizon of a black hole is estimated to be about 300 kilometers for a black hole with a mass of 100 times that of the sun. This is the point of no return where the gravitational pull is strong enough to prevent even light from escaping.


Why is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

First of all, let's look at the basics first. A black hole is made from supernovas of stars(death) The sun is big enough to make a black hole since it is one of the biggest stars in space. Now if the sun dies in a supernova (not going to happen) in a bout 2 to 10 billion years later the star's remains will group up and eventually make a black hole. The sun won't die in a supernova but it will burn out all of its fuel thus not able to hold its own gravitational pull


What do black holes form from?

black holes are formed due to gravitational collapse of massive stars .Gravitational collapse occur when a star has less fuel to maintain it's internal temp. by nuclear synthesis or when a star receive extra matter in such a way that doesn't raise it's core temperature . in both these cases star's temp. is not sufficiently high to prevent collapsing under it's own gravity.But this isn't the only way by which a black hole can be formedprimordial black hole is a hypothetical black hole which is not formed by gravitational collapse of a massive star but by extreme density.in early stages of big bang pressure and temperature were extremely high and in these circumstances, simple fluctuation of density of matter can form a local region that is dense enough to form a black hole

Can a black hole destory the galaxy?

No. No black hole is big enough to do that.


Will a black hole destrow earth?

A black hole can,but it is very rare for a black hole big enough to swallow Earth.


Why will your sun not become a black hole?

It isn't big enough.


Why it is impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

Simply put, it isn't big enough. A star must have a certain mass to become a black hole after its "death", and the Sun doesn't have enough. Our "Sun" is not big enough, only stars that are a lot bigger will explode and become a black hole.


How can the center of a collapsed star form of black hole?

When the star stops producing energy, there is no more radiation pressure to offset the gravitation. In this case (if the remaining mass of the star is big enough), it will collapse to a black hole.

Why all dead big stars do not form black holes?

All dead big stars do not form black holes because sometimes the collapse of the star is stopped at a smaller size before it becomes a black hole.


Can your universe just be at the end of a black hole and can the big bang just be the birth of that black hole?

Actually one interpretation of the big bang is as a white hole, the inverse of a black hole.


How big is the Antarctic ozone hole?

The Antarctic hole is big enough. It is the size of Australia.


Something short about how the black hole was made?

When a star looses all of its fuel it implodes then explodes in the blink of an eye and if the star is big enough upon imploding it literally rips its self apart and thus a black hole.


What happened when two black hole met?

both of the black hole will join together as one big black hole. they can either have a direct hit or both spin, twirling into each other until it create a new super big black hole.


Was the big bang a black hole?

No. The Big Bang was an event, not a material thing. (There are plenty of other ways in which it is utterly unlike a black hole as well.)
