When a star starts to run out of fuel, it will begin to cool, and as it cools, it begins to collapse. If a star is massive enough, there will come a point where the neutrons in the centre of the star can no longer withstand the force of gravity acting upon it. This then results in the star continuing to collapse further; it becomes more and more dense, and ultimately forms a black hole.

Will bellatrix turn to a black hole?

Bellatrix is a fairly massive star, so it may well turn into a black hole. However, it is hard to predict whether an individual star will turn into a black hole; what matters is not the current mass, but how much mass is left over at the end of a star's life, once it runs out of fuel - possibly after a supernova explosion, which may blow much of the star's matter into space.


If Jupiter explodes will it turn into a black hole?

Jupiter could potentially orbit a black hole the size of Mars - one that size would have an immense(!) gravitational pull and would be significantly more massive than Jupiter. By comparison, the Sun's Schwarzschild radius is only about 3 km - and Mars has a radius around 3,400 km - so a black hole of that size would be in excess of a thousand times the mass of the Sun.


When will our sun turn into a black hole?

It probably won't ever become a black hole, unless for some reason a lot of additional matter falls on the Sun. Stars the mass of our Sun become white dwarves after they run out of fuel.


What if a black hole swallowed the earth?

A black hole is basically an imploded star's remnants that DO NOT turn into a nebula or space dust of some type. However, for a "dead" star to become a black hole it must be very big and have tons of mass. The Sun doesn't have that size requirement, therefore cannot be a black hole theoretically.


What will the star turn into when it dies?

Depending on the mass of whatever is left over of a star, it can turn into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or - in the case of the most massive stars - a black hole.

Is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

No, the sun is too small. For a star to turn into a black hole, the star needs to measure 25 or more solar masses. The sun weighs in at 1 solar mass. Therefore, a star needs to be 25 times the mass of the sun to turn into a black hole.


A star 30 times larger than the sun will turn into?

A star 30 times larger than the sun will likely turn into a red supergiant as it exhausts its nuclear fuel and undergoes stellar evolution. Eventually, it may end its life in a spectacular supernova explosion, leaving behind either a neutron star or a black hole depending on its mass.


Its impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole because?

It is unlikely, because the Sun doesn't have enough mass for that to happen.

Why did primitive star not turn into Black Hole?

Because it does not have enough mass to crush itself with it's gravity.

Why it is impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

Simply put, it isn't big enough. A star must have a certain mass to become a black hole after its "death", and the Sun doesn't have enough. Our "Sun" is not big enough, only stars that are a lot bigger will explode and become a black hole.


What determines if the sun will turn into a black hole?

The Sun probably won't turn into a black hole. What determines whether a certain star becomes a black hole is basically the amount of mass left over, once the star runs out of energy. Less massive stars turn into white dwarves; more massive stars into neutron stars; and the most massive of all, into black holes.


It is impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole because?

The Sun doesn't have enough mass, and therefore, not enough gravity, for this to happen.


What does the core turn into when a red giant goes supernova?

A neutron star or, if there's enough mass remaining, a black hole.


How is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

The sun cannot become a black hole. For a star to form a black hole it must be at least 25 times the mass of the sun. When a star like this runs out of fuel in its core, the core collapses and becomes a a black hole while the outer layers are blasted away in a supernova.


How long will a black hole to turn on axis?

If a black hole has spin, it will spin forever.
