About 50 to 100 light-years as the closest safe distance between Earth and a supernova. But, if a supernova to go off within about 30 light-years of us, that would lead to major effects on the Earth, possibly mass extinctions.

What is the minimum safe distance to be from a Supernova explosion?

A safe distance from a supernova explosion would be millions of light-years away. The energy and radiation emitted during a supernova event are extremely powerful and can have destructive effects on planets and other celestial bodies nearby.

Could a supernova on Jupiter cause the earth to be pushed off it axis?

Only a very, very few stars have mass enough to become supernova. Jupiter is a planet not a star. It is far to small to become a star, let alone a supernova.

It could. it depends on the condidtion. Yes it could but after the sun goes supernova it has a chance of turning into a black hole.

What would happen if all the suns that can go supernova went supernova at the same time?

There are huge spaces between stars. The biggest threat to Earth would be the gamma radiation emitted, which could sterilize the Earth from as far as 10 light-years away.


Why doesn't proxima centauri or bellatrix go through a supernova explosion?

Only massive stars, white and blue giants, can go supernova. Proxima centauri is a red dwarf, far to small to produce a supenova. Bellatix may be large enough to produce a supernova, but is just now leaving the main sequence, so it will be a few million years before it dies.
