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.
Supernova
A supernova occurs in a star's lifecycle when it runs out of fuel and its core collapses, causing a massive explosion.
A supernova occurs when a massive star reaches the end of its life cycle and undergoes a catastrophic explosion. This explosion can outshine an entire galaxy for a brief period of time before fading away.
No. An asteroid is a piece of rock and/or metal in in outer space. A supernova is an explosion that occurs when a large star dies or when gas accumulates around a white dwarf.
well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed
Yes, a red giant star can undergo a supernova explosion at the end of its life cycle. This occurs when the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and can no longer support itself against gravity, leading to a dramatic collapse and subsequent explosion.
It is iron.
Betelgeuse is expected to end its life in a supernova explosion, likely as a Type II supernova due to its massive size and age. This type of supernova occurs when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity.
It is yes
it is Supernova
No, not a supernova.
A type-1 supernova is produced by the explosion of a white dwarf star in a binary system. This occurs when the white dwarf accretes material from its companion star, triggering a runaway nuclear fusion reaction that results in a sudden and catastrophic explosion.
