Think of a black hole like the neutron star's big brother. When a star reaches the end of its life, it blows off its outer layer in a supernova and leaves behind a stellar remnant. The mass of the star, during its life, determines what is left behind by its death. For relatively low mass stars (such as our own star), the remnant is a white dwarf. Get much larger than about 1.4 times our own star's mass and you end up with a neutron star. The exact upper mass limit for neutron star formation isn't known for certain, but the estimate is something between 2 and 3 times our own star's mass. Above that, and the remnant core collapses into a black hole.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Sometimes the leftovers of a supernova collapse to from a?
A black hole or a neutron star.
What remains after supernova?
A neutron star or a pulsar, or a black hole.
What factor determines if a neutron star forms or a black hole forms after a supernova explosion?
The factor that determines whether a neutron star or a black hole forms after a supernova explosion is the mass of the collapsing core of the star. If the core's mass is between about 1.4 and 3 times the mass of the sun, a neutron star is formed. If the core's mass exceeds about 3 solar masses, a black hole is likely to form.
When was a star is dead?
When it turns into a black dwarf neutron star or black hole.
What is the relationship between the words supergiant supernova neutron star and black hole?
They are all astronomical terms for stars or star related.
What is the difference between a black hole and neutron star?
See related questions.
What is the relationship between the mass of a black hole and its density?
The relationship between the mass of a black hole and its density is that as the mass of a black hole increases, its density also increases. This means that a black hole with a higher mass will have a higher density compared to a black hole with a lower mass.
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.
What happens when a star is too small to be a black hole but too big to be a neutron star?
There's no mass range that's between "collapses into a neutron star or pulsar" and "collapses into a black hole". It'll be one or the other.
Sometimes the leftovers of a supernova collapse to from a?
A black hole or a neutron star.
Is a neutron star or a black hole bigger?
A black hole has more mass than a neutron star, but if you are comparing volume it would depend on the mass of the black hole. A neutron star is estimated to be about 14 miles in diameter, which is larger than the event horizon of a black hole up to about 3.8 times the mass of the sun. A more massive black hole will be larger.
What remains after supernova?

What is bigger a black hole or a neutron star?
It all relates to what you define as big. A black hole is an infinite region in space with an infinite density. It's "event horizon" is not infinite. If you wish to categorise between size of a neutron star and a black hole's "event horizon", then a black hole is, in most cases larger - but there are micro black holes, which exhibit all the characteristics of a black hole but have a much smaller "event horizon". In the physical sense, everything is bigger than a black hole, but in a terminological sense (the event horizon) it would depend on the mass of the black hole.
