In: Astrophysics [Edit categories]

Answer:

hey...before knowing how a black hole forms.....u must know the life cycle of a star....when death of stars occurs then they become black hole.....their gravitational pull is really high....they cannot be seen....but scientists see them....as light passing through them cannot escape because of gravitational pull.....

What does a black hole cause?
A black hole doesn't cause anything. It is a gravity trap - a place where gravity has gotten so strong nothing can escape (excluding Hawking radiation at the event horizon.) What happens is a star...
How is the formation of a normal black hole different from the formation of a supper-massive black?
It is not yet known for sure how a supermassive black hole acquires the enormous mass it has. It is possible that it starts as a normal black hole, and then gets more mass. It is also possible that...
Black hole formation?
a black hole froms when a massive star exhauists it's neclaer fule and goes through a supernova. The core collapese onto itself, until it reached critical mass.
Can a black hole cause a supernova?
No a supernova causes a black hole through implosion, iron accumulation and quark collission
What is the cause of a black hole?
Gravity. When a star of 3+ solar masses collapses in on itself, gravity continues to make its matter denser and denser.
