Simple. An EXTREME amount of heat is given off, many other stars may be destroyed, and it makes a big boom :D
The range of masses for a supernova typically falls between about 8 to 50 times the mass of the sun. When a star that massive runs out of nuclear fuel, it undergoes a catastrophic collapse resulting in a supernova explosion. Smaller stars may end their lives in a different type of explosion called a nova.
A supernova occurs when a massive star reaches the end of its life cycle and undergoes a catastrophic explosion. This explosion can outshine an entire galaxy for a brief period of time before fading away.
A supernova, or in the case of a smaller star, a nova.
A Nova or a Supernova.
Before a supernova occurs, a massive star undergoes fusion to produce iron in its core. As fusion progresses, the star creates heavier elements up to iron, which cannot release energy through fusion. When the core becomes predominantly iron, it can no longer support the star against gravitational collapse, leading to a supernova explosion.

a super nova is not something that anything goes into. A SUPER NOVA is a part of a stars life cycle when it explodes. THEN all the dust and chips of the star reunite in a super nova remnent forming a COMPLETELY NEW STAR.
A super nova isn't a person. A super-nova is a high mass star's explosion.
It will destroy it in a cataclysmic explosion.

Some stars do. They can be nova or supernova stars, depending on the scale of the explosion.
