How Do Black Holes Form?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Black holes form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity after supernova.
  • The core becomes so dense that not even light can escape its gravitational pull.
  • Stellar-mass black holes are typically a few to tens of times the Sun's mass.
  • Supermassive black holes exist at galaxy centers and form via mergers and accretion.
