No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.

What can form after the supernova of a red giant?

After the supernova of a red giant, remnants such as a neutron star or a black hole can form, depending on the mass of the original star. If the star was especially massive, it may also result in a supermassive black hole or a hypernova explosion.


If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?

If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, it will most likely become a black hole. The gravitational force is so strong that the core collapses into a singularity, forming a black hole.


Why do some stars become white dwarfs and others become neutron stars and black holes?

Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star


Sometimes the leftovers of a supernova collapse to from a?

A black hole or a neutron star.


Why wont your sun become a black hole?

The sun won't become a black hole simply because it lacks sufficient mass to make the transition. A black hole is formed when a giant star reaches a point where it collapses. There is a "threshold" or minimum amount of mass a star must have to become a candidate to become a black hole. Our neighborhood star is too "light" to make the cut. The only way for our star to become a black hole is to randomly gain almost 10x its amount of matter. even then we need to wait another 5 billion years for it to go supernova, and even if that happened, there is still the chance it will become just a neutron star.

What is the difference between a black hole and red giant in astronomy?

a red gaint is when a masize star is at the end of its life and its energy will run out and cause a supernova or will become so dense its own gravity will make it fall in on its self to become a black hole. so basicaly red gaint is a star dieing and a black hole; its already died.

What is made after a supernova?

After a Supernova explosion, a Black Hole is created. Thats right.... Stars make black holes! Here is the life cycle of stars! Not the real one, just... when it turns into a black hole. Gases in space> Bigger gasses in space> A pretty star> Still a normal star> Old dwarf star> SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION> Giant Black Hole! Tada!


What happens to stars after it reaches super giant?

It will goes super in heat which mostly going to become supernova and it grows hotter by seconds then it becomes a black hole with extreme heat energy.


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.

Will Betelgeuse become a neutron star?

After a supernova explosion in Betelgeuse it will definitely become at least a neutron star. However, because of it's mass it's more than likely to become a black hole. If it does, then it will be the closest black hole to Earth.

What does a massive supernova become?

If enough mass is left over after the supernova explosion, i.e. after material is blown off into space, the star will become a black hole. Less massive stars will become neutron stars. A neutron star can convert to a black hole later, if enough matter falls into it.
