What happens when the sun die?

Is your sun a supernova or a white dwarf?

Our Sun is currently a main sequence star. It is not a supernova, as supernovae are massive explosions that occur at the end of a star's life cycle, and it is not a white dwarf, which is a type of star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed to a very dense state.


When will the sun be supernova?

Never. A star must be about 10 times the mass of the sun or more to go supernova.


Can a star with a mass 10 times greater that of the sun produce a supernova?

Yes, a star with a mass 10 times greater than the sun can produce a supernova. When massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel, they undergo a catastrophic explosion called a supernova, leading to the collapse of the star's core and the ejection of its outer layers into space.


What is a star that is larger than your sun?

a supernova


What can the maximum brightness of a supernova be compared to what?

There aren't really any comparisons to be made to a supernova. Let's try one; a supernova is as much brighter than the Sun is as the Sun is to a flashlight. A supernova will release as much energy in an hour as a regular star does in its entire 10-billion year life.


Why don't you need to worry about your sun becomming a supernova?

The sun is not big enough to supernova. It's not even big enough to nova. The fate of the sun is a Red giant, a white dwarf then a black dwarf. Therefore we don't need to worry about the sun becoming a supernova. We need to worry about the sun expand to the size where it touches Jupiter.


What is as powerful as the Sun?

The vast supernova is the star which 100 times brighter than the sun


How big is your sun compared with otherstars?

the sun would be pretty small! ( ex. the sun is a soft ball the star Is a soccer ball!)


Can the sun turn into a neutron star?

No. The Sun is of fairly ordinary mass, and isn't NEARLY big enough to undergo a supernova explosion that would collapse the core to neutron star density. In fact, the minimum mass for a star that will die that way is about 3 times the mass of the Sun.


Which star has the greatest probability of producing a supernova explosion?

There is no way of knowing which star will next go "supernova".However, closer to home, Betelgeuse is the most likely to produce a supernova - within humanities lifetime.


Why will the sun never explode in a supernova?

The Sun is not massive enough to undergo a supernova explosion. A supernova occurs when a massive star runs out of fuel, collapses under its own gravity, and then explodes. The Sun is not massive enough to go through this process and will instead eventually evolve into a red giant and then into a white dwarf.
