Prof. Brian Cox provides a great explanation in episode 2 of his excellent TV series 'Wonders of The Universe'.
In short, many elements can only be created in the extreme conditions which exist within stars as they burn all their internal fuel and gradually 'die'. As they die, massive changes take place within stars, creating the conditions which are required to create different types of elements.
What else can I help you with?
A massive stars terminate in a brilliant explosion called a?
it is Supernova
Is iron the heaviest element made in abundance in massive stars?
No, iron is not the heaviest element made in massive stars. Massive stars produce elements through nuclear fusion in their cores, creating heavier elements than iron, such as lead, gold, and uranium. Iron is often referred to as the endpoint of nuclear fusion in massive stars because the energy required to fuse iron exceeds the energy output of the reaction.
What is an explosion that occurs at the end of a massive stars life?
its called a super nova.
What is a good opening sentence for a science paper on massive stars?
What I have learned about massive stars is...
Why mass is so important in determining the evolution of a star?
Hydrogen, helium, and carbon fuel are found in more massive stars. The diameter of more massive stars is bigger. Helium is found in greater abundance in more massive stars. The weight of more massive stars is greater.
What is the process that produce element in the star?
helium_and_hydrogen">helium and hydrogenThe process that produces elements in stars is called fusion. This is when its so hot that they atoms literally join together to make a whole different substance. Stars are like giant element factories.
How is a massive star formed?
Simply put, massive stars come from massive clouds called neblulae.
What type of galaxy is a massive blob of stars?
These are called ellipitical galaxies
A massive stars terminate in a brilliant explosion called a?
it is Supernova
What is the brilliant explosion that spells the end to massive stars called?
A supernova

What is an explosion that occurs at the end of a massive stars life?
its called a super nova.
What do the most massive stars end their life as?
The massive stars turn into gas
Do massive stars become neutron stars?
Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.
What star was not massive enough to really get going?
Those stars are called brown dwarves.
What is a good opening sentence for a science paper on massive stars?
What I have learned about massive stars is...
How does the future of massive stars differ from the future of smaller stars?
Massive stars are most likely to explode faster than smaller stars.
