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.
What else can I help you with?
Formed from an explosion that occurs as a star collapses quickly?
Supernova
What makes a supernova occur in a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs in a star's lifecycle when it runs out of fuel and its core collapses, causing a massive explosion.
When does supernova occur?
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.
Is a supernova an asteroid?
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.
The explosion of a very massive star is called what?
well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed
Can supernova be a red giant?
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.
What is the last element a red super giant produces before a supernova explosion?
It is iron.
What type of supernova will Betelgeuse be?
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.
Is it a huge explosion of a small explosion when a supernova happens?
It is yes
A massive stars terminate in a brilliant explosion called a?
it is Supernova
Is it possible for a planet to survive a supernova explosion from its own star?
No, not a supernova.
What produces a type-1 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.
