That is difficult to say, it is probable that they could be vaporized. Certainly as the stars mass changes (due to the material leaving the solar system in the explosion), their orbits will be radically modified.

Interestingly we have found planets orbiting Neutron Stars. This would indicate that either some of the planets survived the supernova (say their cores), or that a new planetary system formed afterwards.

A lot would all depend on how far it was from it's parent star.

In most situations, the planet would be vaporized.

Are there planets orbiting suppernovas?

No. A supernova is star that is exploding. If any planets are orbiting a star that explodes, they will be destroyed. There is evidence that after a supernova new planets may form from the debris cloud left behind and orbit the stellar remnant, which will be either a neutron star or a black hole depending on the mass of the star that exploded..


What is a supernova and what happens?

A supernova is the catastrophic death of a star, characterized by a massive output of energy.


Why do planets go into super nova?

Planets do not go into supernova; only stars can go supernova. A supernova occurs when a massive star undergoes a catastrophic explosion at the end of its life cycle. The explosion releases an immense amount of energy, leading to the destruction of the star.

What happens to a burnt out star?

If it's a big enough explosion it will become a supernova


What does it mean when a star goes supernova?

its when the star explodes and its so bright u can see it during the day time


Can a planet survive a supernova if it is on the far side of a star binary to the exploding star?

It could. it depends on the condidtion. Yes it could but after the sun goes supernova it has a chance of turning into a black hole.


What factor determines what happens to the star after a supernova?

Mass decides a stars ultimate fate.


What are the types of stars a high mass star can become after it goes supernova?

Once a high mass star goes supernova, it doesn't become any other type of star - it becomes a pile of enormously dense stellar ash, or if it was big enough to begin with, it becomes a black hole.


Can a planet go supernova?

No, only large stars go supernova when nuclear fusion breaks down. While white dwarfs can go supernova in some instances, brown dwarfs are failed stars which are not powered by nuclear fusion.


What happens to the gases given off during a supernova?

The gases given off during a supernova disperse into space, contributing to the enrichment of the interstellar medium with elements synthesized in the star's core during the explosion. These gases can trigger the formation of new stars and planets in the future.


How long does it take after a star goes supernova does it become a black hole?

It typically takes millions to billions of years after a star goes supernova for the remnant to collapse into a black hole. The exact timescale depends on the mass of the original star and the specific details of the supernova explosion.
