That is difficult to say, it is probable that they could be vaporized. Certainly as the stars mass changes (due to the material leaving the solar system in the explosion), their orbits will be radically modified.

Interestingly we have found planets orbiting Neutron Stars. This would indicate that either some of the planets survived the supernova (say their cores), or that a new planetary system formed afterwards.

A lot would all depend on how far it was from it's parent star.

In most situations, the planet would be vaporized.

What does it mean when a star goes supernova?

its when the star explodes and its so bright u can see it during the day time


What happens when a single high mass star explodes?

you would have a type II supernova


What is the Vela Supernova?

Well a supernova is the explosions or death of a star, so the Vela supernova is probably the supernova of the star vela!


What Materials in the core of a supernova?

A supernova happens when most of the core of the collapsing star has become neutrons, held up against gravity by neutron degeneracy pressure. At this point a shockwave reflects from the neutron star surface, driving the supernova explosion.So the answer to your question is neutrons.


What type of objects do stars end their life as?

They will end up as neutron stars or even black holes. Usually they will first explode as a supernova (of type1a).

Are there planets orbiting suppernovas?

No. A supernova is star that is exploding. If any planets are orbiting a star that explodes, they will be destroyed. There is evidence that after a supernova new planets may form from the debris cloud left behind and orbit the stellar remnant, which will be either a neutron star or a black hole depending on the mass of the star that exploded..


What is a supernova and what happens?

A supernova is the catastrophic death of a star, characterized by a massive output of energy.

If it's a big enough explosion it will become a supernova

Can a planet survive a supernova if it is on the far side of a star binary to the exploding star?

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 factor determines what happens to the star after a supernova?

Mass decides a stars ultimate fate.

What are the types of stars a high mass star can become after it goes supernova?

Once a high mass star goes supernova, it doesn't become any other type of star - it becomes a pile of enormously dense stellar ash, or if it was big enough to begin with, it becomes a black hole.

What happens when the sun die?

big explosion :O the sun is too small a star for a supernova.
