A supernova can be massive but some aren't. Every supernova is a dieing star.
Supernovae are exploding stars. They represent the very final stages of evolution for some stars. Supernovae, as celestial events, are huge releases of tremendous energy, as the star ceases to exist, with about 1020 times as much energy produced in the supernova explosion as our Sun releases every second.
What else can I help you with?
Where does a supernova fit into a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
What type of supernova will Betelgeuse be?
Betelgeuse is expected to end its life in a supernova explosion, likely as a Type II supernova due to its massive size and age. This type of supernova occurs when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity.
Is a black hole a supernova remnant?
No, a black hole is not typically a supernova remnant. A black hole is formed when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, creating a region of spacetime from which nothing, not even light, can escape. On the other hand, a supernova remnant is the leftover material from a massive star's explosion in a supernova event.
If a star is massive enough what can result after it produces a supernova?
If a star is massive enough, after it produces a supernova it can either leave behind a neutron star or collapse into a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star.
Can a star less massive then the sun become a supernova?
No, stars less massive than the Sun do not have enough mass to undergo a supernova explosion. Instead, they may end their lives as a white dwarf or, if they are even less massive, a planetary nebula. Supernovae are events associated with more massive stars.
A massive stars terminate in a brilliant explosion called a?
it is Supernova
What is a supernova and what happens?
A supernova is the catastrophic death of a star, characterized by a massive output of energy.
Is a supernova a type of galaxy?
No. A supernova is a massive explosion, usually from a dying supermassive star.
Where does a supernova fit into a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
What type of supernova will Betelgeuse be?
Betelgeuse is expected to end its life in a supernova explosion, likely as a Type II supernova due to its massive size and age. This type of supernova occurs when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity.
What gives a supernova its energy?
Mass. E=MC2 Supernova explosions happen with the most massive of stars > 20 of our Suns.
What will happen if the sun gone supernova?
The Sun won't go supernova (it isn't massive enough) so the question has no real answer!
Is a black hole a supernova remnant?
No, a black hole is not typically a supernova remnant. A black hole is formed when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, creating a region of spacetime from which nothing, not even light, can escape. On the other hand, a supernova remnant is the leftover material from a massive star's explosion in a supernova event.
What is a gigantic explosion of a massive star?
A supernova, I believe, is what you're talking about.
What is the brilliant explosion that spells the end to massive stars called?
A supernova
If a star is massive enough what can result after it produces a supernova?
If a star is massive enough, after it produces a supernova it can either leave behind a neutron star or collapse into a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star.
What is the estimated number of nutrinos released by the collapse of a supernova?
There are about 40 to 50 of neutrinos released by the collapse of a supernova. This is known as a massive star.
