A hypernova is a more powerful and larger explosion than a supernova. It occurs when a massive star collapses and releases an immense amount of energy, much greater than that of a supernova. Hypernovae are one of the most energetic events in the universe.

When a star that is more than 40 times bigger than the sun dies what is it called?
When a star that is more than 40 times bigger than the sun dies, it can undergo a supernova explosion, leaving behind either a black hole or a neutron star, depending on the mass of the core. The process is called a core-collapse supernova.
How many times bigger is a supernova than a nuclear explosion?
The lowest energy release in a supernova is about 1.5E44 Joules, the highest energy release in a nuclear explosion (i.e. the Soviet Tsar Bomba of 1961) was about 2.17E17 joules (although significantly larger yields are possible, nobody has seen any reason to build one).This is 27 orders of magnitude between the smallest supernova and the largest nuclear explosion that was ever done!!!
When a stars ten times bigger than the sun explode is a?
When a star ten times bigger than the sun explodes, it undergoes a supernova event. This explosive event releases a tremendous amount of energy and can lead to the formation of a neutron star or black hole. Supernovae are among the most energetic events in the universe.
Why doesn't a supernova occur on earth?
A supernova can't occur on any planet. A supernova occurs when a very large star, at least 8 times more massive than the sun dies.
Is the sun bigger then a supernova?
No, a supernova is much larger and more powerful than the sun. A supernova is a massive explosion that occurs when a star reaches the end of its life cycle, while the sun is a relatively small star in comparison.
Is a bigbang bigger or a supernova?
The Big Bang was bigger than anything.
Is a supernova bigger than earth?
Much bigger. Earth is a relatively small planet, much smaller than even a dwarf star. A supernova is a very large star exploding.
What is the name for the explosive death of a star that is much bigger than your Sun?
Supernova
Is cooler's supernova bigger than goku's spirit bomb?
It depends on how strong the other person is and how much power the planet has.
When a star that is more than 40 times bigger than the sun dies what is it called?
When a star that is more than 40 times bigger than the sun dies, it can undergo a supernova explosion, leaving behind either a black hole or a neutron star, depending on the mass of the core. The process is called a core-collapse supernova.
What causes dark holes?
If you mean "Black Holes" then they are formed when a star very many times bigger than the sun goes supernova and collapses in on itself.
What name is given to a dying star as it gets bigger and weaker?
A Nova or Supernova
When will Mu Cephei die?
Mu Cephei, for all you uneducated people, is the 3rd largest star in the the universe, or that we know of. It is nearing death right now as you read this. it probably has only a few more 1000 years to live. Mu Cephei is a super giant star, so it is to big to explode into a supernova. It will probably explode into a hypernova, which is bigger than a supernova, or possibly into a meganova, which is bigger than a hypernova.
How are black holes supernovas and black holes form?
Supernova happens when a star that is at least 3 times larger than our sun dies, it will be crush by its own gravity. Then boom, supernova. Then the star acts like a sponge, it will get bigger. That star is not a star anymore, it is a black hole.
Does red giant star bigger than sun become a nova?
Yes.When the star explodes it will become a super nova.Our sun is too smal to make a supernova when it explodes.
Do stars create supernovas?
Stars do not create supernovas. Supernovas happen to stars. A supernova is when a star, bigger than our own sun, explodes due to the lack of gas they need.
What is a star that is larger than your sun?
a supernova
