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 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.

What is a star exsplosion which increases the stars lumionosity to 1000 times that of a nova?

A supernova is an explosive event that can increase a star's luminosity to as much as 1000 times that of a nova. Supernovae occur when a massive star reaches the end of its life and undergoes a catastrophic collapse, releasing an immense amount of energy in the process.
