A supernova is a powerful and luminous explosion that occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle, resulting in a dramatic increase in brightness that can outshine entire galaxies for a short period. In contrast, a nova is a less energetic event that occurs in a binary star system when a white dwarf accumulates material from its companion star, leading to a sudden outburst of nuclear fusion on its surface. While supernovae can lead to the formation of neutron stars or black holes, novae do not result in the destruction of the white dwarf. Essentially, supernovae are much more energetic and catastrophic than novae.

What is the definition for supernova in science?
A supernova is a powerful and explosive event that occurs when a star reaches the end of its life cycle and undergoes a catastrophic collapse. This process results in a sudden and dramatic increase in brightness, outshining an entire galaxy for a brief period of time. Supernovae play a crucial role in the distribution of elements in the universe and can also trigger the formation of new stars.

What are exploding stars?
Dangerous. Novas, or supernovas. Tycho Brahe coined the phrase "nova stellarum" when a "new star" appeared in the night sky. We now know that he was observing a supernova, the death throes of a very massive star.
What is the origin of the word supernova?
Novas have been noted for over 150 years now. But until well into the 20th century, it was thought that all novas were pretty much the same thing, it's just that some were bigger than others. Today we know that a "regular" nova is a very different thing from a supernova, and one of the biggest differences is size. So the logical name for the better understood "large, hot star type of nova" was simply to call it a "supernova". It is not the same thing at all as a "regular" nova, it's mechanics and chemistry are very different.
What name is given to a dying star as it gets bigger and weaker?
