No. When the sun dies it will expel its outer layers in a series of gradual pulses and leave behind a white dwarf.

Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?

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.


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.


Is our sun big enough to form a black hole?

Stars like the Sun are not massive enough to become a black hole. Instead, in several billion years, the Sun will form a white dwarf. Black holes can be formed if the remaining core of a star after it had gone supernova is very massive (more than 2.5 times the mass of the Sun).


Will our sun go supernova and become a black hole?

No. It is not massive enough. A star generally has to be at least 8 times the mass of the sun to go supernova and only stars 25 times the mass of the sun or more can form black holes. When the sun dies it will shed its outer layers in a series of gradual pulses and leave behind a white dwarf as a remnant.


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

First of all, let's look at the basics first. A black hole is made from supernovas of stars(death) The sun is big enough to make a black hole since it is one of the biggest stars in space. Now if the sun dies in a supernova (not going to happen) in a bout 2 to 10 billion years later the star's remains will group up and eventually make a black hole. The sun won't die in a supernova but it will burn out all of its fuel thus not able to hold its own gravitational pull

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.


Is there a possibility the sun could go super nova or turn into a black hole?

No. Our Sun isn't massive enough to go supernova, or to turn into a black hole. A star needs to be more than 3 times more massive than our Sun in order to become a black hole.


Which kind of stars become black holes?

Only stars that are much more massive than our sun can become a black hole. When the star dies, it explodes (called a supernova) and then gravitational collapse helps it to form a black hole.

Will the sun become a black hole one day?

No. The sun does not have enough mass to become a black hole. When the sun dies it will become a white dwarf.


Why is the sun considred a black hole?

First of all, our sun can not become a black hole, it is too small for that. However if a star is three times bigger than our sun, then yes it will become a black hole.

How long will it take for the sun to become a black hole?

The sun should not become a black hole. It does not have sufficient mass to undergo the necessary collapse.

When are black holes in the star cycle?

when a star that is 3 times larger than our sun is dying, it will shrinks and crush by its own gravity. That becomes supernova. After the supernova, a black hole will be created.
