Why do planets go into super nova?

a super nova is not something that anything goes into. A SUPER NOVA is a part of a stars life cycle when it explodes. THEN all the dust and chips of the star reunite in a super nova remnent forming a COMPLETELY NEW STAR.


Which star will be the next to go into super-nova?

It is difficult to predict which star will be the next to go into supernova as these events are unpredictable and can happen suddenly. However, some massive stars that are about to run out of fuel in our galaxy are potential candidates for a future supernova.


Is Antares a supernova yet?

It's highly unlikely. Antares is not likely to go supernova for at least a million years. However, because of it's distance from us - 600 light years, it may have already gone supernova and we just haven't seen it yet.


Do all stars go through all stages?

No, not all stars go through all stages of stellar evolution. The evolutionary path of a star depends on its mass. Low-mass stars like the Sun will go through stages like main sequence, red giant, and white dwarf, while high-mass stars can go through stages like supernova and neutron star or black hole formation.


What would happen if a super nova hit earth?

A supernova is an exploding star. The Earth would be instantly incinerated, of course. There is approximately zero chance this will ever happen, though. If there was a supernova near Earth ... it would depend on how near. Betelgeuse is a good candidate for a supernova "soon" (within the next million years or so). Scientists who have modeled supernova explosions don't expect it will have much of an impact. If a star nearer than Betelgeuse were to go supernova, then it might be more serious.

Will a very large star go through several supernova explosions in its lifetime?

A star will become a supernova only once.However, a white dwarf can have multiple novaeruptions.See related questions


When will the sun be supernova?

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


What is the difference between a nova a supernova and a neutron star?

A nova is a star which has a close companion star, and draws stellar material off of it's companion, occasionally flaring up very brightly in the process. A supernova is a massive and hot star to begin with, that tends to go through it's life cycle at high speed, and ending it's life in a cataclysmic explosion. Supernova remnants then collapse into a neutron star - a spinning, very hot pile of stellar ash, so dense that a teaspoonful of it would weigh thousands of tons. If the collapsed supernova star was big enough, it's gravity upon collapse is so intense than not even light can escape from it, and it becomes what is called a "Black Hole".


The explosion of a very massive star is called what?

well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed


When will a star go supernova?

Currently, there is no real way of knowing when a star will go supernova within a few thousand to million years. There are signs, that a star will go supernova based on physics and observations but WHEN is a problem. A star will "pulse" in a "last breath" prior to going supernova, but like death itself, no one really knows, when that last breath will happen. Betelgeuse, is experiencing those "last breaths" but when it will happen, or has happened, we will not know until we see the brilleint outburst from Earth.


Will a neutron star eventually go supernova?

No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.


Can a planet go supernova?

No, only large stars go supernova when nuclear fusion breaks down. While white dwarfs can go supernova in some instances, brown dwarfs are failed stars which are not powered by nuclear fusion.


Is a star going supernova in the Orion?

There are currently no stars in the Orion constellation showing signs of going supernova. If a star in the Orion constellation were to go supernova, it would likely be visible to us on Earth given Orion's proximity.


What kind of star is most likely to become a white-dwarf supernova?

A supernova is a star that has exploded into dust and gas. A white-dwarf is a small, hot, dense star nearing the end of its life, that did not have enough mass to go supernova. So the answer is "none".


What is one of the endings of a star?

Under certain conditions, a large star can go supernova, and blast itself to smithereens. Our star (Sol, or Sun) cannot go supernova unless it would somehow 'capture' a white dwarf. This would be billions of years from now, so don't worry.


What is important about the color of the stars?

the color of the stars usually determines how old and how hot the star is it can also determine when the star will go supernova
