Any stars less massive than our sun do not explode in a supernova. They will slowly cool down and burn out forming an "ember" (a.k.a. white dwarf).

What is the definition for supernova in science?
Nova (plural novae) means "new" in Latin, The prefix "super-" distinguishes supernova from ordinary nova.
Where does a supernova fit into a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
Is your sun a supernova or a white dwarf?
The sun is neither a supernova nor a white dwarf. The sun is a main sequence star. A supernova is not a kind of star: it is the explosion of a massive star.
A supernova reaction occurs in the life cycle of which type of star?
A massive star. Usually any star with more that 9 solar masses will explode as a supernova.
The explosion of a very massive star is called what?
well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed
What does a massive supernova become?
If enough mass is left over after the supernova explosion, i.e. after material is blown off into space, the star will become a black hole. Less massive stars will become neutron stars. A neutron star can convert to a black hole later, if enough matter falls into it.

What is a dense collapsed core with a very strong gravitional pull that forms when a very massive star become a supernova?
Neutron Star
Is a red dwarf star made from a supernova?
No. A Red Dwarf is a very low mass star - less than our Sun. Only massive stars > 20 Suns will result in a supernova [See Related]
What is a supernova and what happens?
A supernova is the catastrophic death of a star, characterized by a massive output of energy.
Is a supernova a type of galaxy?
No. A supernova is a massive explosion, usually from a dying supermassive star.
Is your sun a supernova or a white dwarf?
The sun is neither a supernova nor a white dwarf. The sun is a main sequence star. A supernova is not a kind of star: it is the explosion of a massive star.
What is the differences between super nova and neutron star?
A supernova is when a massive star explodes. A neutron star is what can be formed after a supernova explosion. See related questions

A massive star. Usually any star with more that 9 solar masses will explode as a supernova.
What causes a planet to become a star?
A planet cannot become a star. A star is an object that is massive enough to release energy via nuclear fusion. A planet is much less massive.
