Generally, a black hole will be created when a star 3x (or higher) more massive than our Sun dies, it becomes a black hole. It can vary based on the environment around it and the very materials making up the star as it dies.

What 2 things can happen to a star after a supernova?

It can either become a neutron star or a black hole. If the star is between 8 and 15 solar masses, it will become an incredibly dense neutron star. If it is more than 15 solar masses, it will collapse and become an even denser black hole.


Is a black hole the remains of a lost planet?

No. No planet is massive enough to become a black hole. A black hole is the remains of a dead, supermassive star.


What does the black hole do to the star?

A black hole originated as a star, that is, the star converted to a black hole.


Why is the sun considred a black hole?

First of all, our sun can not become a black hole, it is too small for that. However if a star is three times bigger than our sun, then yes it will become a black hole.


Will Betelgeuse become a neutron star?

After a supernova explosion in Betelgeuse it will definitely become at least a neutron star. However, because of it's mass it's more than likely to become a black hole. If it does, then it will be the closest black hole to Earth.


Did black hole creats another star?

A black hole does not create a star. A black hole is formed when a star dies.


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.

Will betelgeuse become a black hole?

Its quite possible that when Betelgeuse goes supernova (within a short "astronomical" time scale) that the remaining core will have enough mass to become a black hole. When it does, it will become the most studied "star" in our lifetime.

What a star may become after a supernova explosion?

Usually a neutron star, or a black hole, depending on the remaining mass.


Will the sun become a white dwarf a neutron star or a black hole and why?

According to current theories of stellar evolution, because of the Sun's mass and chemistry most likely it will become a white dwarf. It simply lacks the weight to become a neutron star or black hole.
