Supernova
A supernova occurs in a star's lifecycle when it runs out of fuel and its core collapses, causing a massive explosion.

The gigantic explosion that occurs when a star collapses and ejects its outer layers into space is called a supernova. This event marks the end of a massive star's life cycle, leading to a brief but extremely bright display as the star's core collapses. Supernovae can outshine entire galaxies for a short period and play a crucial role in dispersing elements into the universe, contributing to the formation of new stars and planets.
When a star's core collapses, a giant explosion called a supernova occurs. This cataclysmic event marks the end of the star's life cycle and can outshine entire galaxies for a brief period. The explosion is often triggered by the gravitational collapse of the core after nuclear fusion ceases, leading to a dramatic release of energy and ejected material into space. Supernovae play a crucial role in distributing heavy elements throughout the universe.
When rock above a cave collapses, a sinkhole is formed.

When a star's core collapses and a giant explosion occurs, it is called a supernova. This explosive event releases an immense amount of energy and can outshine entire galaxies for a brief period of time.
The onset of iron fusion causes a star to become a supernova. This process occurs when the star's core collapses due to the inability to support the fusion of iron, leading to a catastrophic explosion.
A supernova explosion is one of the most explosive events in the universe. It occurs when a massive star reaches the end of its life cycle and collapses under its own gravity, releasing an immense amount of energy in the process. The explosion can outshine entire galaxies for a brief period.
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.
