How come only very large stars can form a black hole?

not a very large one, but the massive one, because a massive star form strong gravity, and strong enough gravity beat the neutron degeneration, in result, blackhole formed


How is an object's mass related to the upward force needed to overcome the pull of gravity?

The upward force would have to overcome gravity, so the force should be F > -mg. Since the upward force and gravity work in opposite direction you can disregard the mass of the object (they cancel: F(gravity) = F(upward) => mg = -m(g+x)) . Consequently the object's mass is irrelevant.


Is Pluto massive enough so that its own gravity makes it into a spherical round shape?

Yes, Pluto is massive enough for its own gravity to pull it into a nearly spherical shape. Although it is not a perfect sphere due to its relatively small size and irregular composition, its gravity is strong enough to overcome its rigid structure and mold it into a round shape.


Stars can form most easily in clouds that are?

Cold, dense, and massive. These conditions allow gravity to overcome internal pressure and initiate the process of nuclear fusion, leading to the formation of a star.


Why is the earth has gravity?

every substance has gravity including the earth. more massive the substance is, more powerful its gravity


What happens when the gravity of a massive star overcomes neutron degeneracy pressure?

When the gravity of a massive star overcomes neutron degeneracy pressure, the core collapses under its own gravity, leading to the formation of a black hole or a neutron star, depending on the initial mass of the star. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of a supernova explosion.


When is gravity at the largest?

Gravity is related to Mass and distance. Thus gravity increases the nearer you get to a dense massive body.


Why does earth have gravity and the other planets do not?

All massive objects (including all planets) have gravity.


Why can only very massive stars form black holes?

it takes a lot of pressure to overcome the force of neutron degeneracy, only very massive stars have strong enough gravity to do this at their core. when it happens the core collapses suddenly, becoming a black hole and conservation of momentum ejects the rest of the star as a powerful supernova.


Why do you float in a vacuum Were is gravity?

Whether or not you float has nothing to do with vacuum. You float because you are too far away from the earth (or other massive objects) for their gravity to have any noticeable effect on you. It just so happens that this occurs in space where natural vacuum may be found.


Why is there lesser gravity in moon?

Basically, the Moon is less massive. In general, the amount of gravity depends on the mass, and on the distance.


What has more gravity then the sun?

More massive stars, of which their are quite a few. The most gravity is from supermassive black holes.
