Most stars are dimmer than our sun (intrinsic brightness), and thus we cannot see them. However, most of the stars that we can see are actually quite a bit brighter than our sun. Some of them are exceedingly bright.

When will the milkey ways sun go super nova?

Our sun is to small to go super nova.Super nova's happen when a star explodes. For a super nova, the star has to be atleast 5x bigger then our sun.When our sun explodes, you would just see HUGE FIREWORKS.


Why don't you need to worry about your sun becomming a supernova?

The sun is not big enough to supernova. It's not even big enough to nova. The fate of the sun is a Red giant, a white dwarf then a black dwarf. Therefore we don't need to worry about the sun becoming a supernova. We need to worry about the sun expand to the size where it touches Jupiter.


When a star that is more than 40 times bigger than the sun dies what is it called?

It depends. With current theoretical knowledge, a star of this mass has two possible outcomes. 1) It erupts in a cataclysmic explosion as a supernova and then forms into a black hole or 2) If the mass is high enough, currently believed to be around 50 solar masses, it will form directly into a black hole without the supernova.


Why will the sun never explode in a supernova?

The Sun is not massive enough to undergo a supernova explosion. A supernova occurs when a massive star runs out of fuel, collapses under its own gravity, and then explodes. The Sun is not massive enough to go through this process and will instead eventually evolve into a red giant and then into a white dwarf.


Is your sun a supernova or a white dwarf?

Our Sun is currently a main sequence star. It is not a supernova, as supernovae are massive explosions that occur at the end of a star's life cycle, and it is not a white dwarf, which is a type of star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed to a very dense state.

Does red giant star bigger than sun become a nova?

Yes.When the star explodes it will become a super nova.Our sun is too smal to make a supernova when it explodes.


Is a bigbang bigger or a supernova?

The Big Bang was bigger than anything.


When will the sun be supernova?

Never. A star must be about 10 times the mass of the sun or more to go supernova.


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!


What causes dark holes?

If you mean "Black Holes" then they are formed when a star very many times bigger than the sun goes supernova and collapses in on itself.


What is the order from smallest to largest sun supernova red giant white dwarf?

White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova


Is the sun a planetary nebula or supernova?

Oh, sure. The Sun is a Supernova. That's why we're all sitting here burning to death.


How big is a supernova star compared to your sun?

A supernova is much larger and brighter than a regular, stable star like our sun. During a supernova event, the star can briefly outshine an entire galaxy before fading away. The process of a supernova represents the violent death of a massive star.


Conclusion of the canis major?

When the canis majoris explodes, it will create a supernova of over 30000 degrees. A supernova is a huge explosion of fire. After the supernova, a black hole will form. Black holes form when a star explodes. But it cant just be a star. It has to be a star 10x greater then our sun. The canis majoris is way bigger then just 10x. So when it explodes it will create a black hole much bigger then normal size.
