A nova is a star which has a close companion star, and draws stellar material off of it's companion, occasionally flaring up very brightly in the process. A supernova is a massive and hot star to begin with, that tends to go through it's life cycle at high speed, and ending it's life in a cataclysmic explosion. Supernova remnants then collapse into a neutron star - a spinning, very hot pile of stellar ash, so dense that a teaspoonful of it would weigh thousands of tons. If the collapsed supernova star was big enough, it's gravity upon collapse is so intense than not even light can escape from it, and it becomes what is called a "Black Hole".

What types of stars are thought to be the remnants of supernova explosions?
Supernova explosions are believed to generally result in a black hole, as the core of the star is collapsed into an unimaginably dense point mass. One can't really say that a black hole is any kind of star. Less powerful nova explosions probably result in pulsars or neutron stars.
What is the final explosion of a dying supergiant star called?
A supernova, or in the case of a smaller star, a nova.
The super-nova is what stage in the life of a star?
The death stage. It explodes and either collapses into a neutron star or collapses even more into a black hole in space.
A what is produced when the outer core of a star explodes after the core collapses?
The process of the stellar explosion is called a "nova", or if powerful enough, a "supernova". The outer layers of gas are blown away into space, and this shell of fleeing gas is sometimes called a "supernova remnant", or more generally, a "nebula". For example, the Crab Nebula is the gas cloud left over after a supernova explosion which was brilliantly visible here on Earth in the year 1054.
What is the gravity of a super nova compared to earth?
The gravity of a supernova is much greater than that of Earth. During a supernova explosion, the core of a massive star collapses rapidly, creating an incredibly dense object such as a neutron star or black hole, which exerts immense gravitational forces.
What is the differences between super nova and neutron star?
A supernova is when a massive star explodes. A neutron star is what can be formed after a supernova explosion. See related questions
What occurs before a supernova explosion?
Nuclear fusion stops and the star is no longer capable of transformming LIGHTER elements into HEAVIER. elements. At this point GRAVITY looses out and PRESSURE wins out thereby causing the supernova explosion. But bear in mind, there is a HUGE difference between an ordinary star going NOVA and a SUPERNOVA.
Who sings supernova?
super nova
What is the difference of a nebula and a supernova?
A nebula contains stars and other matter; a supernova is just a large enough nova, or star that explodes at the end of its life cycle due to spent fuel
How do you say super nova in Latin?
Supernova
An explosion of a star?
When a star explodes, it releases an immense amount of energy, creating a supernova. This explosion can outshine an entire galaxy for a short period of time. Supernovae are crucial for the formation of heavy elements and can also cause the star to collapse and form a black hole or neutron star.
What is another name for an exploding star?
A nova or a supernova
What is the difference between a 1992 nova bumper and a 1972 Nova bumper?
About 20 years.
Who is supernova?
A super nova isn't a person. A super-nova is a high mass star's explosion.
What types of stars are thought to be the remnants of supernova explosions?
Supernova explosions are believed to generally result in a black hole, as the core of the star is collapsed into an unimaginably dense point mass. One can't really say that a black hole is any kind of star. Less powerful nova explosions probably result in pulsars or neutron stars.
What is the time difference between Nova Scotia and Bali?
The difference is 11 hours.
What is the final explosion of a dying supergiant star called?
A supernova, or in the case of a smaller star, a nova.
