No it cannot. Only stars larger than 8x the mass of our sun have the possibility of becoming black holes.

yep good explanation Marcher,our Sun is what's known as a "low mass" star. It will expand into a Red Giant and then shrink and eject most of its outer layers and die... whats known as a "planetary nebula" and then it will become a white dwarf or a dead star.

Our Star 'Sol' is too small to become either black hole or neutron. A star needs about 1.4 Solar masses to achieve Black Hole status. The Sun will likely expand to Red Giant (engulfing everything up to Jupiter) then shrink and 'go out'.

Yah it all depends on the size of the star. Our sun is actually a small star compared to alot of stars in our galaxy. They say the supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies were caused from earlier universe stars which were believed to be 200-300x bigger than the sun.

shit man.........cool!

it would have to go through all the phases of other stars, and it's not something which is guaranteed. it could, it could not. it's supposed to explode in like...2.4 billion years or something, at which point it would begin it's next new phase (red giant) and so forth. there's many possibilities is what i'm saying.

FUnner to watch than religion class ill say

do you guys know if a star like our sun could become a black hole? I mean when it dies.

this would make it neither nuclear fusion or fission

is there a video anywhere that shows a simulation from gas to star to supernova to black hole? or just from star to black hole or something? |
