What will form is a neutron star or a black hole.

(Strictly speaking, it's a red supergiant that becomes a supernova.)

Can supernova be a red giant?

Yes, a red giant star can undergo a supernova explosion at the end of its life cycle. This occurs when the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and can no longer support itself against gravity, leading to a dramatic collapse and subsequent explosion.


Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?

No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.


The explosion of a very massive star is called what?

well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed


What is the correct order of a life cycle of a star?

At the beggining, a star starts out as a nebula. This nebula's gas condenses to form the sun. This sun is called a protostar. When all of the hydrogen is used up in nuclear fusion to produce helium, the star begins to grow and gets to a stage known as the red giant stage. At this point, depending on the size of the star at this point, it can form differently. It can either become a super giant or a dwarf star. When the red giant become a dwarf star, it had collapsed in onitself after burning all possible fuel. It will continue to glow until it reaches its final phase as a black dwarf, which doesn't produce any light and is in a dormant phase. If the red giant becomes a super giant, then it will continue to grow until it burns off all of its fuel and collapses in on itself, where it then explodes into a supernova. If this supernova condenses to quickly, it will form a black hole.


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.

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.

When will the sun exploed?

No, the Sun doesn't have enough mass to Supernova, it will become a Red Giant over 5 billion years then slowly form into a Nebula.

It is iron.

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.
