What does supernova mean for kids?
A huge explosion from a dying star.
What do you call a huge explosion in which a large star may die?
This is a supernova.
What are leftover materials from a huge star explosion?
The leftover materials from a huge star explosion, known as a supernova, can include heavy elements like iron, nickel, and gold, as well as lighter elements like hydrogen and helium. These materials are ejected into space during the explosion and can eventually contribute to the formation of new stars and planets.
What describes how a star's life cycle end?
The star will blow out its outer layers in a huge explosion called a supernova.
What occurs before a supernova explosion?
Nuclear fusion stops and the star is no longer capable of transformming LIGHTER elements into HEAVIER. elements. At this point GRAVITY looses out and PRESSURE wins out thereby causing the supernova explosion. But bear in mind, there is a HUGE difference between an ordinary star going NOVA and a SUPERNOVA.
Huge explosion that forms a nebula?
A huge explosion, such as a supernova, can release massive amounts of energy and matter into space. As the expanding debris cools and interacts with surrounding gas, it can form a nebula - a large cloud of dust and gas. Over time, this nebula may give rise to new stars and planetary systems.
Describe how a supergiant become a supernovia?
Gravity makes the supergiant collapse. Particles smashes into the center of the star make it so hot that a huge explosion occurs-a supernova
Is a supernova massive?
A supernova can be massive but some aren't. Every supernova is a dieing star. Supernovae are exploding stars. They represent the very final stages of evolution for some stars. Supernovae, as celestial events, are huge releases of tremendous energy, as the star ceases to exist, with about 1020 times as much energy produced in the supernova explosion as our Sun releases every second.
What is the Big Bang?
A theory that the universe formed in a huge explosion
Where is nitrogen and iron formed in the big bang?
The heavy elements are formed when a supernova explodes. That happens quite frequently, when a star suddenly increases in brightness by a huge amount for a few months. If a supernova is close to us it can be seen as a new star, and that happens about twice in 1000 years.
What happens to a large star when it runs out of fuel?
When a large star runs out of fuel, it undergoes a supernova explosion, where the core collapses and releases a huge amount of energy. The outer layers are expelled into space, forming a nebula, while the core either forms a neutron star or a black hole, depending on its mass.
How is a super nova a disaster?
The word "disaster" comes from the Latin for "bad star"; like many people today, the Romans believed that the stars controlled the fates of people. When bad things happened, it was because an evil star - a "disaster" - had afflicted them. Our Sun is too small to be destroyed in a supernova explosion, but if an intelligent race of aliens happened to be living on a planet whose star went supernova, it would indeed be a "disaster", an "evil star", that would incinerate their world.
