What happens to planets after a star dies?

Question

Lydia Allen · Accepted Answer

The planets either consumed by the star which will turned into a black hole, gets blowned away or became rogue planets which will explain later.

If a star is too big or massive, it will become a black hole and swallow up almost everything in the solar system. However, there is a 1 in a trillion chance that the planets will survive the supernova or get sucked into the black hole, in which case they will be remembered as a fragment of a memory that has been lost forever. Before a star dies, it turns into a red giant, which causes most of the planets (but in some cases all) to be swallowed by it. Then the star explodes, which destroys most of the entire system.

undefined When a star dies, the planets that orbit it can have different experiences based on the kind of star and how it dies. If the star dies quietly, like a white dwarf, the planets can still orbit the star's remnants. If the star dies violently, like in a supernova, the planets can be ejected or destroyed from their orbits. If the star dies completely, like in a black hole, the planets can be crushed by the gravitational force.
