What is the difference between a novae and a super novae event?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Understanding has changed on this question, since once both terms described the same event. Today we distinguish a SUPERnova as a star that explodes in reaction to the pressure of its own gravitational collapse (needless to say, this is something that only happens once) while a nova may be a companion star that suddenly brightens as a result of stealing enough mass from another star to start fusion, a process which may recur.
Nova is the singular; novae is plural.
