What else can I help you with?
What do you call a huge explosion in which a large star may die?
This is a supernova.
What two things can a supernova become?
A supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas) is a stellar explosion that creates an extremely luminous object.Check the link given for more information.
What forms when stars explode?
A supernova, resulting in either a neutron star or black hole. Also may heavy elements are blown out of the star during the explosion.
What determines which stage occures after a supernova?
No one knows for sure, since there is not enough information to figure it out. After a supernova, the star will either turn into a black hole, a neutron star, or a pulsar. But, there is no scientific evidence that proves which one the star will turn into after a supernova.
What are the three forms of stellar death and what determines the final fate of a star at birth?
A star may become a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole. Which option applies depends on the mass of the star - more specifically, how much mass is left at the end - for example, after a supernova explosion if there is one.
What is the range of masses for a supernova?
The range of masses for a supernova typically falls between about 8 to 50 times the mass of the sun. When a star that massive runs out of nuclear fuel, it undergoes a catastrophic collapse resulting in a supernova explosion. Smaller stars may end their lives in a different type of explosion called a nova.
What happens to a massive star when its fusion period is over?
Once a star's nuclear fusion has ended, it will collapse inside its core and become what is known as a white dwarf. Its outer layers will shoot out into the universe as planet nebula. If they are very large, stars will explode into a Supernova and their core will collapse into a black hole.
What can form after the supernova of a red giant?
After the supernova of a red giant, remnants such as a neutron star or a black hole can form, depending on the mass of the original star. If the star was especially massive, it may also result in a supermassive black hole or a hypernova explosion.
A what is produced when the outer core of a star explodes after the core collapses?
The process of the stellar explosion is called a "nova", or if powerful enough, a "supernova". The outer layers of gas are blown away into space, and this shell of fleeing gas is sometimes called a "supernova remnant", or more generally, a "nebula". For example, the Crab Nebula is the gas cloud left over after a supernova explosion which was brilliantly visible here on Earth in the year 1054.
Which element in the core of a high mass star leads ultimately to a supernova explosion?
The Answer may be hydrogen. Hydrogen moves to the suns core as it starts to die, or explode. hydrogen is a very flammable gas. A star, like the sun is surrounded by heat. this heat will ignite the hydrogen gases as it moves to the core. This ignition of the hydrogen will cause the star to expand in size and increase in temperature.
Does a Supernova end up as a Black Hole?
It may end up as a black hole, if there is enough mass left after the supernova explosion. Otherwise, it will most likely become a neutron star. in a supernova the outside of the star expoldes leaving a core which has the same mass as the original star but if the size of our star the remaining core will be not much bigger that the earth meaning the mass to to big for somthing of its size so it will collapse into itself creating a black hole. the resulting dust and hydrogen will create an nebula where it will eventualy collect using gravity and magnatism to create a new star
Does a supernova implode or explode to form a black hole?
It depends on the mass of the star. When massive stars die the result is usually an enormous explosion called a supernova, but the core will collapse to form a dense remnant. If the remnant is less than 3 times the mass of the sun then it will form a neutron star. If it is greater than 3 times the mass of the sun it will form a black hole. Extremely massive stars may collapse directly into a black hole with no supernova.
