the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
No, low mass stars do not become neutron stars. Low mass stars like the Sun end their lives as white dwarfs. Medium mass stars can evolve into neutron stars, but they must first go through the supernova stage to shed their outer layers and leave behind a dense core of neutrons.
When fusion stops in a star it will start to fuse helium and will become a red giant.
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
because of the great mass of the star, the gravity of it is very high. So after its death, it actually contracts so tightly that even protons and electrons combine to form neutron and thus results to a star called neutron star. If its previous mass is considerably low, then it could have become a white dwarf
Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.
The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.
A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.
No. Stars such as our sun become white dwarfs. Only stars 8-10 times the mass of the sun or more become neutron stars.
No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
No. Blue stars will generally leave behind neutron stars or black holes.

their colour is one thing but a black dwarf originates from a white dwarf

Black holes, neutron stars, and the white dwarfs
When fusion stops in a star it will start to fuse helium and will become a red giant.
