Stellar black holes are a type of black hole that forms from the gravitational collapse of massive stars. When a star with sufficient mass (typically more than about three times the mass of the Sun) exhausts its nuclear fuel, it can no longer support itself against the force of gravity. Consequently, it collapses under its own weight, and if the residual core's mass is sufficient, it can form a black hole.
