It is a supergiant.

(the late stage in the life cycle of a massive star

in which the core heats up, heavy elements formed

by fusion, and expands; it can eventually explode

to what scientist call a supernova.)

What happens when the outer core of a star explodes after the core collapses?

Its blown into interstellar space - to enrich and mix with the gasses already out there.


Which type of star is produced when a large star collapses in a supernova?

When a large star collapses in a supernova, it can produce either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star. A neutron star forms when the core of the star collapses but the outer layers are ejected, while a black hole forms when the core collapses completely.


What is a star that explodes in supernova what does its core become?

When a star explodes in a supernova, its core can collapse into either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star. For stars with masses less than about 3 times that of the Sun, the core collapses into a neutron star, which is an extremely dense and compact object. For more massive stars, the core collapses further into a singularity, forming a black hole.


What happens to make a star explode?

A star explodes in a supernova when it exhausts its nuclear fuel, leading to a breakdown of the balance between gravitational forces and internal pressure. In massive stars, the core collapses under gravity, causing temperatures and pressures to rise drastically, resulting in a rapid fusion of heavier elements. This culminates in a catastrophic release of energy, expelling the outer layers into space and leaving behind a neutron star or black hole. In less massive stars, the explosion can occur as a planetary nebula, shedding outer layers while the core remains as a white dwarf.


How thick is the outer core in km?

the outer core is 2300 km thick the inner core on the other hand is 1200 km thick.

What is produced when the outer parts of a star explodes after the core collapses?

The explosion (a supernova) produces a glowing cloud of gas (called a nebula) that slowly expands and dissipates (eg the crab nebula).

What happens when a single high mass star explodes?

When a single high mass star explodes, it undergoes a supernova event. The core collapses inwards and then rebounds explosively, sending out a shockwave that ejects the outer layers of the star into space. This explosion can outshine an entire galaxy for a short period of time.

What is formed from the leftover material after a high mass star explodes?

After a high mass star explodes, the leftover material forms a remnant called a neutron star or a black hole. If the core of the star is less than about 3 times the mass of the Sun, it collapses to form a neutron star. If the core is more massive, it collapses further, causing the gravitational collapse to form a black hole.


Produced when the outer core of a star explodes after the core collapse?

A black hole or a neutron star, depending on the mass of the remaining core. Also a lot of material is ejected into space.


What can't compression produce of the Earth's layers?

The outer core.


What happens when the core of a super giant collapses while the outer part explodes and gets very hot?

When the core of a super giant collapses, it can trigger a supernova explosion. The intense heat and pressure leads to the fusion of heavier elements and the release of a tremendous amount of energy, resulting in a massive explosion that can outshine entire galaxies for a short period of time. This explosion also disperses newly formed elements and enriches the surrounding space, playing a key role in the creation of new stars and planets.
