Formation of Black Holes

A black hole is formed when a star's gravity causes it to collapse into

itself. Pressure caused by heat from burning up hydrogen and other fuels
balances out the star's gravity. When the star runs out of fuel, it is
overcome by gravity and starts to collapse. Some stars are not big
enough to become a black hole and simply become a white dwarf.
Scientist know that not all stars can become black holes when they die,
and not all stars go supernova when they die.
The stars that do become black holes are very powerful.
Light rays that are passing black holes are bent. If Light
rays come too close to the black hole it becomes trapped
in its gravitational pull and sucked in. Small stars are not
able to become black holes they can only become neutron star or white
dwarf. A big star that is destined to become a black hole is three times
the mass of the sun. Which means our sun, Sol3 won't become a Black
Hole.
The only other way a star can be formed is if it is formed by compression
through external forces. This type of black hole is called a primordial black
hole. One of the sites that has given me information on black holes says
"External forces compress matter together to form a singularity". This
type of black hole isn't created because a star collaped. A primordial black
is able to have a mass less than the sun.
