How is a Black Hole formed? + more videos

How is a Black Hole formed? That's so simple! AumSum forms it! Oh AumSum! In a star, the inward force of gravity is exactly balanced by the outward force created by hot gases and radiation. When the star runs out of fuel, this balance is lost and the star's core begins to collapse under its own gravity. This collapse causes the outer layers to blow apart in a huge explosion called a supernova. Free to watch on Dr.Doc Kids.
