What can form after the supernova of a red giant?
What will form is a neutron star or a black hole. (Strictly speaking, it's a red supergiant that becomes a supernova.)
Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?
No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
Fusion reactions in red super giants and supernovae create what?
Different things. A red giant fuses helium, whereas a supernova catastrophically explodes. There is no similarity.
Does a supernova have a collapsed star?
A red giant, otherwise the star that is dieing will just shrink into a white dwarf and eventually disappear.
Why don't you need to worry about your sun becomming a supernova?
The sun is not big enough to supernova. It's not even big enough to nova. The fate of the sun is a Red giant, a white dwarf then a black dwarf. Therefore we don't need to worry about the sun becoming a supernova. We need to worry about the sun expand to the size where it touches Jupiter.
What is the order from smallest to largest sun supernova red giant white dwarf?
White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova
Bright object formed after the explosion of a red giant?
supernova
What is the explosoin of a red giant star?
A supernova. See related question.
What is the explosion of a red giant called?
The explosion of a red giant is called a supernova. It would be quite spectacular to watch! I hope this answer helps :D Technically the explosion of a Red giant is not called a Supernova as the mass of the star is not great enough. However the explosion from a Red Super Giant can be called a supernova. A normal Red giant doesn't actually explode, the core just collapses again to cause a white dwarf and the outer layers are ejected to form planetary Nebulae.

What is the gigantic explosion of a red giant called?
Technically the explosion of a Red giant is not called a Supernova as the mass of the star is not great enough. However the explosion from a Red Super Giant can be called a supernova. A normal Red giant doesn't actually explode, the core just collapses again to cause a white dwarf and the outer layers are ejected to form planetary Nebulae.

What is the last element a red super giant produces before a supernova explosion?
It is iron.
When a main-sequence star has exhausted the fuel in its core it becomes a....?
I am pretty sure it becomes a giant if I'm not mistaken.
Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?
No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
Will a red giant star end as a supernova?
Not exactly. Red giants become white dwarf stars. It is the red supergiants that can become supernovas.
What are the stages of a stars life?
