How big is the sun compared to a star?
The sun is a star. It is comparatively large, believed to be in the top 20% for size.
What is the sun is the sun big or small?
Big and small are comparatives. The sun is very large compared to the rest of the bodies in our solar system. It is an average sized star. There are stars much larger than the sun.
Possibly the most cataclysmic event associated with the death of a star is the?
For a star that is 10x or more the size of our sun? Supernova explosion, followed by the implosion of the star, forming a neutron star. For a star that is 50x or more the size of our sun? Supernova explosion followed by the implosion of the star, crushing down extremely small, forming a black hole. For a star that is 100x or more the size of our sun? Supernova explosion followed by the implosion of the star, crushing down extremely small, forming a supermassive black hole
Why do all stars end in a supernova?
Oops! Not all stars end up as a supernova. To become a Type 2 supernova, the star has to be between 8 and 50 times larger than the Sun.
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 happens when the sun die?
big explosion :O the sun is too small a star for a supernova.
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.
Can a star with a mass 10 times greater that of the sun produce a supernova?
Yes. Good thing that our Sun isn't that big!
How big is the sun compared to a star?
The sun is a star. It is comparatively large, believed to be in the top 20% for size.
What can the maximum brightness of a supernova be compared to what?
There aren't really any comparisons to be made to a supernova. Let's try one; a supernova is as much brighter than the Sun is as the Sun is to a flashlight. A supernova will release as much energy in an hour as a regular star does in its entire 10-billion year life.
When will the sun be supernova?
Never. A star must be about 10 times the mass of the sun or more to go supernova.
What is a star that is larger than your sun?
a supernova
How big is your sun compared with otherstars?
the sun would be pretty small! ( ex. the sun is a soft ball the star Is a soccer ball!)
What is as powerful as the Sun?
The vast supernova is the star which 100 times brighter than the sun
Can the sun turn into a neutron star?
No. The Sun is of fairly ordinary mass, and isn't NEARLY big enough to undergo a supernova explosion that would collapse the core to neutron star density. In fact, the minimum mass for a star that will die that way is about 3 times the mass of the Sun.
How is the sun compared to stars?
The sun is a star.
What is the sun is the sun big or small?
Big and small are comparatives. The sun is very large compared to the rest of the bodies in our solar system. It is an average sized star. There are stars much larger than the sun.
