The total size of the explosion.
Imagine our Sun but 20 times bigger - now imagine all of that object being flung into space in one second. That is why it is so luminous.

What is the magnitude of Cassiopeia A?
Cassiopeia A is a supernova remnant in the constellation Cassiopeia.It has no single point of luminosity, so no definitive magnitude can be attributed to it.
Was the Orion nebula a nova or a supernova?
The Orion nebula was likely caused by a supernova. It is a huge cloud of gas within which hundreds of new stars are being formed.
How much brighter than Sirius would the Betelgeuse supernova be in your sky if it reached a maximum luminosity?
The supernova would be so much brighter that it's hard to compare, at least 10 magnitudes brighter then Sirius. It would probably be about the same brightness as the full moon in the sky.
What is a sentence with luminosity in it?
I was enthralled by the luminosity of the deep water jellyfish.
What describes how a star's life cycle end?
The star will blow out its outer layers in a huge explosion called a supernova.
What is a star explosion which increases the star's luminosity to 1000 times that of nova?
A supernova.

What happens to a star's luminosity when it starts to die?
As a star dies, its luminosity fades. It is in a sense the radiation that keeps it from collapsing. When the radiation fades beyond a certain point, the star collapses. The collapse releases a huge burst of energy and light and the star turns into a nova or supernova. At this point several things can happen. The star can turn into a black hole but other things can happen as well.
Is it a huge explosion of a small explosion when a supernova happens?
It is yes
What are leftover materials from a huge star explosion?
supernova remnants
