No. Our sun, for instance, after an expansion (red giant) stage that may encompass Earth, will then compress its entire mass into a very dense body about the size of Earth. It will then be known as a white dwarf. This phase, lacks a fusion process and consists of radiating stored thermal energy. The radiation from this stage will supply very little energy to the rest of the system but will take many billions of years to cool. Finally, our sun will remain in one piece, a dark body of matter that continues to orbit in our galaxy. The planets will continue to orbit around it, but without star-shine. It will then be known as a cold black dwarf.

An idea of the time frame involved can be gleaned from this thought. It is believed that: no black dwarfs exist, since the universe, at about 13.7 billion years of age, isn't mature enough to have allowed any star the necessary amount of time for this process to complete itself.

Percentage wise. Most stars do not explode.

Only about 1 in 3 million will explode as a supernova. The rest, like our Sun will just die quietly and become white dwarfs.

No. Only very large stars can become a supernova.

No, supernovae only occur in stars significantly larger than the Sun.

What happens if all the stars supernova?

we all die


What is the fate of all-stars regardless of size?

All stars will eventually run out of hydrogen and die.


What type of objects do stars end their life as?

They will end up as neutron stars or even black holes. Usually they will first explode as a supernova (of type1a).


How did the supernova come about?

Well in space there are billions of stars. Stars are like humans they are born, they live for a while and eventually die out. When a star reaches the end of its life it starts to produce elements in its core such as helium and other elements but when it produces IRON it has signed its death certificate, after just a few seconds after the star has produced iron it has a supernova. A supernova is the single most destructive force known to man. A supernova will destroy anything in its path. When the supernova is over all that is left is a white dwarf which is so dense that if you was to drop a sugar cube on its surface it would sink into its core thousands of miles deep. Hope I answered your question, if you have anymore questions reply back.


Will we all die if a supernova occurs?

The supernova must be at most 3000 light years away from Earth to have any effect on us. If it is, the ultraviolet and gamma radiation will scorch everything on Earth, and kill all the phytoplankton in the ocean. If the plankton dies, all fish die. If fish die, all fish-eating land animals die, and so on until all animal life on Earth is dead. Plants may survive. If the supernova is 100 light years away, it will obliterate the planet itself.

What type of star as their lives as supernova?

many stars die as a supernova. not really able to determine which types, because they die at random, but if they dont die as supernovas, they just collapse and disappear into one point in the sky.


Are there any stars that died in the Mesozoic period?

Of course. It is estimated that millions, if not billions, of stars go supernova and "die", every year.


Are Stars going to die soon?

By "die", you probably mean explode in a supernova, turn into a black hole, or turn into a white dwarf. According to The Universe, one supernova is predicted for about every second somewhere in the Universe. This means that stars are always constantly "dying" in the Universe.

Do all stars when they die produce a black hole?

No because the star has to be a high mass star and has to have a supernova that is really strong to have a lot of gravity forced into itself.

Would there be a big supernova if the KY cygni star and the vy canis majoris star collided into each other?

yes.It would create a massive supernova of over 100000 degrees F and you would all die!!! We wouldn't die. Those stars are far too distant.
