There are two main types of supernovae. Type 1 happen when a white dwarf take up gas from something near them and always explode that gas away from the white dwarf when they reach 1.38 times the mass of our sun. The gas moves at about nine million meters per second.
Type 2 happen when a very very big star runs out of fuel so they don't have any particular size.

How big is the sun compared to other solar system objects?
The sun is larger than severel stars, in fact some scienctists believe it's one of the brightest stars in our galaxy.
Why is the ocean so big?
The Earth actually isn't very big compared to many other things.
What are the ratings and certificates for Supernova - 2005 Big Red 2-3?
Supernova - 2005 Big Red 2-3 is rated/received certificates of: Australia:M
What happened first big bang or supernova?
The Big Bang happened first. It is the beginning of the Universe as we know it - we don't know what happened before that.During the Big Bang, hydrogen and helium were formed; other elements were created later, through nuclear fusion - and some of those were ejected in supernova explosions.
What does a star produce when it undergoes a nova or supernova explosion?
Simple. An EXTREME amount of heat is given off, many other stars may be destroyed, and it makes a big boom :D
How big is a supernova star compared to your sun?
Supernova stars' are at least three times the solar mass of the Sun.
Which stars go out with a bang?
Really big stars, which die in supernova explosions.
Were did a black hole come from?
Black holes came from old big stars that went supernova as it dies. Supernova causes the star to collapse into a black hole
What term is applied to stars that explode?
Term used for an exploding star is 'supernova' nova means explosion and supernova means a super explosion of a very big thing such as star.
What is the relationship between the periodic table and a supernova?
The elements on the periodic table were created by stars through nuclear fusion. We use the term stellar nucleosynthesis to describe what stars are doing through fusion. Stars fuse hydrogen into helium, and then start making heavier elements by a different fusion process. But stars can only make elements up through iron. They can't make the heavier elements. Enter the supernova. A supernova is that "big blast" that occurs at the end of the life of some stars. In a supernova, the trans-iron elements are formed. That is, all the elements heavier than iron are formed in a supernova. Because the elements heavier than iron are formed in a supernova, we can say that there is a relationship between the supernova and the periodic table of elements.

Why is the ocean so big?
The Earth actually isn't very big compared to many other things.
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.
What are the types of stars a high mass star can become after it goes supernova?
Once a high mass star goes supernova, it doesn't become any other type of star - it becomes a pile of enormously dense stellar ash, or if it was big enough to begin with, it becomes a black hole.
Why do stars explod and why?
Yes, they do. This is called a nova or supernova, depending on its mass. The supernova outshines every star you can see usually depending on the distance. If a star is big enough, the supernova can create a black hole in space. The crab nebula was formed by a supernovas about 1,000 years ago.
What happens if 10 galaxies collide into each other at the same timeHow big would the supernova be?
When galaxies "collide", the individual stars do not actually smash together; they're far enough apart that they mostly slip past each other.
Why does the sun look so big compared to the other stars to us on earth?
How dumb are you? I'll surprise you: the sun is actually smaller than most of the stars you see im the sky. Then why is it bigger? BECAUSE ITS CLOSER.
