Best Answer

The explosion of novae hardly disturb the white dwarf or its companion star. Mass transfer resumes and a new layer of fuel can accumulate so that the process can happen all over again. In a supernovae, its the death of a star. Its theory that the outer layers of a massive star produces the supernovae while the core collapses to form a neutron star or black hole.

When does supernova occur?

If two stars begin to orbit. However, novae are more common that supernovae, so you can't really say if the result of a binary will be a nova or a supernova.


Are novas or novae classified into different types?

No, a nova is a star showing a sudden large increase in brightness and then slowly returning to its original state over a few months. Novae are caused by a cataclysmic nuclear explosion on a white dwarf, which causes a sudden brightening of the star and they can repeat on the same star as material repeatedly builds up on its surface from a nearby companion. They are therefore always in a binary system. Novas/Novea should not be confused with "Supernovae" which are different and are classified into different types.
