A nova is when a star "dies", or runs out of fuel to burn and implodes, and the gravity makes it collapse in on itself. But it will effect any space objects near it like planets and asteroids. A supernova is when a huge star (usually a few times the size of our sun to 30 times the size)"dies" causing a giant implosion which will effect space objects and their gravity farther away than of any planets.
