After stars explode in a supernova, they can leave behind a dense core, which may become a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the original star's mass. The explosion disperses the outer layers of the star into space, enriching the surrounding interstellar medium with heavy elements formed during the star's lifecycle. This material can eventually contribute to the formation of new stars and planets. The energy released in the explosion also creates shockwaves that can trigger star formation in nearby gas clouds.

What happens to stars that explode?

When stars explode, they release a tremendous amount of energy in a violent explosion known as a supernova. Depending on the mass of the star, it may collapse into a compact object like a neutron star or a black hole, or scatter its materials into space, enriching the surrounding regions with heavy elements.


What happens to stars when they explode?

When stars explode, they release a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light, heat, and various particles. Depending on the type of explosion, the star could become a supernova, leaving behind a dense core known as a neutron star or black hole, or it could completely destroy the star in a violent burst. The explosion also disperses heavy elements and dust into space, which can then contribute to the formation of new stars and planets.


What is left when stars explode?

When smaller stars explode (like our Sun), they leave a nebula cloud by releasing their gas and they become a small but dense white dwarf star.When big stars explode (like Betelgeuse), they have a massive explosion called a supernova and the core of the star turns into a black hole or a pulsar.


Are dying stars bright?

Yes, dying stars can become very bright. As they run out of nuclear fuel, some stars expand into red giants or supergiants, which can increase their brightness. Additionally, some dying stars, like supernovae, can produce intense bursts of light as they explode.


Do suns explode when they die?

Most do not. Stars about 10 times more massive than the sun or larger will explode. Smaller stars shed their outer layers gradually.

What is the space in space called after a star explode?

well it depends on the star. not all stars explode. small to medium sized stars just go into a planetary nebula after they swell up to a red giant then the bigger stars do explode, they have a super nova after the swell up into a super giant. but dont worry i star will not explode... its a really small star. --- nichole brooks :)
