because it takes a very large and massive core to pull on itself enough to shrink.
A black hole forms only when the star is large enough that the gravitational pressure exceeds the quantum degeneracy pressure.
Most massive stars will eventually form black holes after they go through their life cycle of burning through their nuclear fuel, leading to a supernova explosion. The remnants of the supernova collapse into a dense core, which, if above a certain mass threshold, will become a black hole due to the force of gravity overwhelming other forces.
That is correct. A star the size of our Sun will not form a black hole when it dies. Instead, it will likely become a white dwarf. Black holes are typically formed from the remnants of more massive stars.
No. Only the most massive stars form black holes. When the sun dies it will form a white dwarf.
Black holes are formed by super massive stars when they collapse. Less massive stars will form neutron stars. Therefore, the original size and mass of the star will determine if a black hole will be created when the star collapses.
Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.
Most black holes are stellar mass black holes with masses comparable to those of large stars as they form from the collapse of massive stars. Scientists know of the existence of supermassive black holes that are millions to billions of times the mass of our sun and can be found in the centers of most galaxies. Scientists still do not know how these black holes become so massive.
Most black holes are believed to form when very massive stars die.
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.
Yes. When the most massive stars die, their cores collapse to form black holes.
A black hole forms only when the star is large enough that the gravitational pressure exceeds the quantum degeneracy pressure.
Most black holes form when massive stars exhaust their fuel and their cores collapse. There are also supermassive black holes at the centers of most galaxies. Scientists are not sure how supermassive black holes form.
Most massive stars will eventually form black holes after they go through their life cycle of burning through their nuclear fuel, leading to a supernova explosion. The remnants of the supernova collapse into a dense core, which, if above a certain mass threshold, will become a black hole due to the force of gravity overwhelming other forces.

False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.
Mostly in galaxies, where they can form Super Massive Black Holes.
No. Only the most massive stars form black holes. When the sun dies it will form a white dwarf.
