Can supernova be a red giant?
A red giant can become a supernova.
Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?
No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
The onset of iron fusion causes a star to become a?
A supernova
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?
If sufficient mass remains after the supernova explosion, it will become a black hole.
What is the definition for supernova in science?
Nova (plural novae) means "new" in Latin, The prefix "super-" distinguishes supernova from ordinary nova.
Will Sirius b become a supernova?
No. It's a white dwarf, meaning that it has no more fuel left for such things.
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.
Can supernova be a red giant?
A red giant can become a supernova.
What is the life and death of Sirius the star?
Sirius's fate might be peaceful; just ejecting it's outer red giant layers to make a planetary nebula. It is 2.02 times the mass of the Sun. However, Sirius has a white dwarf companion. On Sirius B's death, Sirius A might have formed. At the other end, Sirius B might destroy Sirius A. White dwarfs have very strong gravity, and if it is close enough, Sirius B might steal material from Sirius A. When a white dwarf stealing mass from the parent star has enough mass to create iron, the iron triggers a Type 1a supernova. If this happens to Sirius B, Sirius A could either be destroyed by the immense force of the explosion, or become a runaway star, travelling faster than even Barnard's Star. If this is the case, Sirius A might eat smaller stars or crash and burn into a larger star. If it heads towards us if this happens, we would be doomed.
Could a supernova on Jupiter cause the earth to be pushed off it axis?
Only a very, very few stars have mass enough to become supernova. Jupiter is a planet not a star. It is far to small to become a star, let alone a supernova.
Why do some stars become red giants and others become supernova?
i dont know
Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?
No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
The onset of iron fusion causes a star to become a?
A supernova
Did Sirius Black become a ghost?
No. there is only 1 ghost.
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?
If sufficient mass remains after the supernova explosion, it will become a black hole.
Why do all stars end in a supernova?
Oops! Not all stars end up as a supernova. To become a Type 2 supernova, the star has to be between 8 and 50 times larger than the Sun.
Will the sun turn into a super nova?
No. It does not have enough mass to become a supernova.
