When the sun is collapsed will it form a black hole?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
When the sun is beginning to collapse will it get smaller and denser?
 
Yes it will until some backpressure will kick into stop further collapse , in large stars this backpressure can't fight back the huge mass so the gravity wins and the whole mass and all the leftovers collapse into a black hole but in mass that are smaller than the minimum limit to form a black hole they don't collapse to a black hole because the mass is not big enough for gravity to take over the pressures exerted by atoms in the case of white dwarfs - electrons.
