A supernova is an explosion that occurs when the star runs out of fuel and fusion stops. A star is a red supergiant before moving into a supernova.

That is called a supernova. The supernova can form into neutron star, black hole, or possibly a more exotic form of compact star after the star has exploded.

What is the definition for supernova in science?

Nova (plural novae) means "new" in Latin, The prefix "super-" distinguishes supernova from ordinary nova.


What is a very massive star?

The sun


What will a star that's 1000 times as massive as the sun ultimately become?

I don't think it's possible to have such a massive star, according to present theories. Still, a very massive star should become a black hole, ultimately.


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 a star at the end of its life cycle that eventually becomes a black dwarf?

It's really hard to tell for an individual star whether it will become a black hole. That depends on the mass of the star that remains after it runs out of fuel. Please note that in a supernova explosion, a large portion of a star's mass can be blown off into space. However, in general it is the most massive stars that are most likely to become black holes. Moreover, a supergiant star is not only very massive, but it is also likely to run out of fuel in the near future - meaning, in the next few million years - and therefore collapse (perhaps into a black hole, perhaps into a neutron star).

What is it called when a star suddenly flares up?

A Nova. The colossal explosion of a very large star at the end of its life is a Supernova.

What is the explosion of a dying giant or supergiant star?

There are several different kinds. An explosion ON a star is usually called a "nova" (from the Latin for "new", because this results in the star brightening significantly, thus appearing to be a "new star"). The star itself usually survives, and the cycle will probably repeat several times. The explosion OF a very large star is called a "supernova", and again there are different kinds. Stars generally either do not survive this, or survive only in very changed form (as a neutron star or black hole).


The birth of a small star and a very massive star are the same but the end of their life is very different Describe the difference in the fate of a small star and a very massive star?

The difference between the death of a small star and a massive star is what the become afterwards. A small star will typically become a red dwarf while a large star will become a neutron star or 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.


If a star dies how big is the explosion?

it is very big and lasts a year two.

What is the difference between an average star and a massive star?

Massive stars are brighter, they burn up faster, and they die younger, usually in very energetic explosions.
