What would happen if the sun became a nova?
Our Sun could never become a nova as a nova requires a companion star, and as we only have the one star (The Sun) it is impossible.
Does the star polaris make a revolution around the sun?
No. Nor does any other star, unless there is an unknown companion to our Sun, like the hypothetical "Nemesis".No. Nor does any other star, unless there is an unknown companion to our Sun, like the hypothetical "Nemesis".No. Nor does any other star, unless there is an unknown companion to our Sun, like the hypothetical "Nemesis".No. Nor does any other star, unless there is an unknown companion to our Sun, like the hypothetical "Nemesis".
Explosion of companion star of the sun?
Nothing is known about any companion star. There is a "Nemesis hypothesis", according to which there could be one, but no companion has been confirmed.
What is the probability that our sun has a companion star?
Very low. Such a companion would have been detected by now, even if only through its gravitational effects.
What is the binary star hypothesis?
This hypothesis was proposed by Lyttleon in 1938. Before the formation of planets, the sun had a companion star. Another star approached close to these double stars and dragged the companion star away. A gaseous filament was torn from the companion star and it remained close to the sun.The planets were originated from this gaseous filament in the same way as described in the gaseous tidal hypothesis.

Is the sun the only star in the universe called the sun?
The star that Earth orbits is the only star that we call the sun. That said, if you lived on a planet orbiting another star, you would probably call that star the sun.
Does the Sun have a companion?
It has the eight planets and a host of asteroids and cometary bodies. But no, our sun is essentially a solitary star. Stars with companions are known as binary stars, or trinaries, etc.
What is an exceptionally bright star?
The North Star, or if you want a literal answer that is probably not the one that you are looking for, The Sun
How did the sun become a big star?
First off, the Sun is not a big star. It is a Main Sequence star, which means it's an average size star. Second, at the formation of your Solar System, gravity caused rocks to start getting closer together and spinning. Eventually, the friciton and gravity was so great, and became so hot, the spinning rocks became a star, known as the Sun.
What type of star is Zeta Herculis?
Zeta Herculis is a binary star system in the constellation Hercules.It has a class of G0V which means it is similar to our Sun but is moving away from the main sequence.It's companion star is a class K0V
What type of star is HD 142?
The star called, "HD142" is a 6th magnitude star. It is about 84 light-years from Earth, and is located in the star constellation, "Phoenix". HD142 is in orbit with a nearby 'companion' star which is a little more than half the size of our Sun.
