What else can I help you with?
what causes a star to explode as a supernova?
Either somebody shoots at the star. Or kills the star turning it into a supernova.
What produces a type-I supernova?
A type-I supernova occurs when a white dwarf star accumulates mass from a companion star until it reaches a critical threshold, triggering a runaway nuclear fusion reaction. This causes the white dwarf to explode in a bright supernova event.
What type of objects do stars end their life as?
They will end up as neutron stars or even black holes. Usually they will first explode as a supernova (of type1a).
What type of star explodes in a type II supernova?
Massive stars, typically with a mass greater than 8 times that of our Sun, explode in a type II supernova. These stars undergo a core collapse followed by a massive explosion, resulting in the release of vast amounts of energy and debris into space.
Can the earth go supernova?
No. There are two ways of generating a supernova: a star at least 8 times the mass of the sun collapsing and exploding or a white dwarf interacting or colliding with a companion star. Our sun is not massive enough to explode when it dies and does not have a companion star.
What type of star sometimes explode?
Supernova.
what causes a star to explode as a supernova?
Either somebody shoots at the star. Or kills the star turning it into a supernova.
What is it called when stars in the sky die?
Some stars explode in a supernova.
Do stars explode?
Some stars do. They can be nova or supernova stars, depending on the scale of the explosion.
How does supernova come into existence?
A supernova comes to existence when a white dwarf drains the matter from any companion star up to a point in wich it cannot carry anymore, and then it will first implode, and afterwards it will explode, a supernova.
What would happen if the sun went supernova?
we would explode and if there were survivors they would freeze to death
What will Antares die as?
Antares is a red supergiant and has enough mass to explode as a supernova and then collapse into a black hole.
Does a supernova explode?
Yes it does. With as much power as 10 trillion of the most powerful hydrogen bombs known to man.
What do red giants become after they run out of fuel?
They explode as a supernova/hypernova to form a planetary nebula/black hole.
What produces a type-I supernova?
A type-I supernova occurs when a white dwarf star accumulates mass from a companion star until it reaches a critical threshold, triggering a runaway nuclear fusion reaction. This causes the white dwarf to explode in a bright supernova event.
Do all-stars exploded?
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.
What can a super giant star explode into?
A supergiant star can explode into a supernova, where the outer layers are ejected into space. What remains may collapse into a neutron star or black hole, depending on the mass of the original star.
