A black hole is what remains after the supernova is finished exploding.

When a supernova explodes, it generates such intense heat and pressure that atoms that cannot normally fuse together, like carbon and iron, ARE fused together, creating all of the heavy elements such as lead or gold or uranium. The explosion is so enormous that as it is creating these heavy elements, the supernova is also blasting the star apart and throwing a good percentage of itself back into space.

The core of the star is crushed beyond measurement into the "ultimate" density of a black hole, while the outer layers are thrown out into space - where they can help to form new solar systems like our own. Because our bodies contain elements like iron and magnesium, we KNOW that we contain star-stuff; that's the only way iron could ever form, in the explosion of a supernova.

Is it true if a black hole swallows a supernova nothing will happen?

This is NOT true. Black holes are formed when massive stars explode in supernovas, blowing much of the star into space and crushing the core into a black hole. One of the things that WILL happen is a massive pulse of x-rays and gamma rays.

What is the difference between a black hole and red giant in astronomy?

a red gaint is when a masize star is at the end of its life and its energy will run out and cause a supernova or will become so dense its own gravity will make it fall in on its self to become a black hole. so basicaly red gaint is a star dieing and a black hole; its already died.


What is the relationship between a Supernova and a Black whole?

It is speculated that a supernova (exploding star), after its reaching its maximum expansion, then collapses into itself, forming an incredibly dark and powerful gravitational force known as a black hole.


Will a supernova cause a black whole?

Either a black hole, or a neutron star. That depends on how much mass is left after the supernova explosion.


What might happened to a star after it explodes as a supernova?

What would happen to a black hole if it was devouring a star and the star went supernova?

The gasses ejected from the supernova would probably transfer enough momentum to the black hole to blast it away from the exploding star. The black hole would gain some mass from the gasses.
