What metal causes the death of red giant?
The heaviest element that can be produced in the core of a massive star before it goes supernova is iron. Iron does not cause the death of a red giant, but rather the inability to continue nuclear fusion in its core, leading to its collapse and eventual explosion as a supernova.
What occurs before a supernova explosion?
Nuclear fusion stops and the star is no longer capable of transformming LIGHTER elements into HEAVIER. elements. At this point GRAVITY looses out and PRESSURE wins out thereby causing the supernova explosion. But bear in mind, there is a HUGE difference between an ordinary star going NOVA and a SUPERNOVA.
What is the heaviest element that a star can produce through fusion before going supernova?
The heaviest element that can be produced prior to supernova is Iron (Fe).
The explosion of a very massive star is called what?
well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed
When does supernova occur?
A supernova occurs when a massive star reaches the end of its life cycle and undergoes a catastrophic explosion. This explosion can outshine an entire galaxy for a brief period of time before fading away.
How big does a supernova gets before it explodes?
A supernova *is* the explosion. A super nova is caused by one of a few stellar events: A) Sudden collapse of a star, which causes massive carbon fusion. B) The gradual accumulation of material by an already collapsed star until the mass is enough to compress the core of the star and start fusion of the element carbon (normal stars fuse hydrogen)
Which elements would be present in a star just before it forms a supernova?
Elements present in a star just before it forms a supernova would include hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, and iron. The star undergoes nuclear fusion to produce heavier elements in its core, leading to the buildup of iron which triggers the supernova explosion.
What is a guest star was that seen exploding over China in the year 1054?
A "guest" star is the name for the original star, before it exploded as a Supernova. Because the Supernova is the explosion and has no real physical relation to the Star, it is termed "guest" star.
Why is platinum so rare?
Platinium is created within the massive explosion of a supernova. It is one of the last things to be produced when a giant star goes supernova, therefore not a lot of it can be produced in time before the star blasts itself apart.
How many solar masses does a star have to have before a supernova is produced?
A star must have at least 8 times the mass of the Sun in order to undergo a supernova explosion at the end of its life cycle. This is because stars need to have enough mass to generate the tremendous pressure and temperature required for a supernova to occur.
What is the last element to fuse in the core of a star after it goes supernova?
Well friend, after a star goes supernova, the last element that forms in its core is usually iron, a true star of the show! As the star expands and contracts in its final moments, different elements fuse together until only iron remains. It's all part of nature's beautiful dance, showing us the wonder and complexity of the universe.
Can a black hole stop a supernova?
A black hole is often the RESULT of a supernova explosion. When a massive star dies, the star explodes. The core of the star is crushed, while the outer layers of the star are blown away into space. This explosion is a nova or supernova. The early astronomers, seeing a burst of light where no star had ever been seen before, called them "nova stellarum", or "new star". When the core of the star is crushed by the explosion, the result is a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how densely the core is collapsed.
