What is the explosion of a red giant called?

The explosion of a red giant is called a supernova. It would be quite spectacular to watch! I hope this answer helps :D Technically the explosion of a Red giant is not called a Supernova as the mass of the star is not great enough. However the explosion from a Red Super Giant can be called a supernova. A normal Red giant doesn't actually explode, the core just collapses again to cause a white dwarf and the outer layers are ejected to form planetary Nebulae.

Will a red giant star end as a supernova?

Not exactly. Red giants become white dwarf stars. It is the red supergiants that can become supernovas.


What can form after the supernova of a red giant?

After the supernova of a red giant, remnants such as a neutron star or a black hole can form, depending on the mass of the original star. If the star was especially massive, it may also result in a supermassive black hole or a hypernova explosion.

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.
