Term used for an exploding star is 'supernova' nova means explosion and supernova means a super explosion of a very big thing such as star.
When stars explode in a supernova, they can leave behind either a neutron star or a black hole. Neutron stars are very dense and are composed mostly of neutrons, while black holes are regions of spacetime with such strong gravitational effects that nothing, not even light, can escape from them.
Pretty bad news" if you happen to be on it. Planets do not normally explode and hence there is no real term for the event. However, stars do explode and the term for that event is a supernova or a nova depending on the circumstances. ...earthshattering? See related questions. These deal with the explosions of stars, not planets, but nearby planets will usually be destroyed in the process.
Although life-related terms are sometimes applied to stars, they are nonliving.
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.
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.
No. Only the most massive stars explode.
stars explode
Depends on which 5 stars
Some stars do. They can be nova or supernova stars, depending on the scale of the explosion.
Some stars explode in a supernova.
The Latin word nova, meaning new is applied to stars which explode due to any of several instabilities. The plural can be the Latin plural "novae" or English plural "novas".
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 :)
Massive stars are most likely to explode faster than smaller stars.
Yes.
they explode when pressure is applied
OK maybe when is runs out of gas all the gas around it will explode because the heat of the star too. so that is why the stars explode
Percentage wise. Most stars do not explode. Only about 1 in 3 million will explode as a supernova. The rest, like our Sun will just die quietly and become white dwarfs.
