When you think of a star think of something like the sun, while a supernova is the explosion of a star, while its at the ending of its life span. Star: "A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma that is held together by its own gravity." Supernova: "A supernova (plural: supernovae) is a stellar explosion." Stellar: "Stellar is an adjective referring to one or more stars." Quotes are from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova
A Shooting star is the name given to the path that you see that is caused by a meteoroid as it enters the atmosphere of the earth and becomes a meteor.
On the other hand, Supernova is a massive explosion that occurs when a star dies, essentially the death of star and is extremely luminous. It's caused by the burst of radiation that outshines a particular galaxy and then eventually fades out during the course of weeks or months.
A supernova is the explosive death of a star, which unleashes a burst of light through the cosmos - whereas it is theorized that a Black Hole is a star which has collapsed to the point where its own gravity creates matter so dense that all remaining matter from that star is crushed to a point called 'a singularity' (smaller than a single atom).
The only real difference between supernovae and hypernovae is size. For a stellar explosion to be classified as a hypernova, it must be significantly more energetic than a supernova. Additionally, it's thought that the longer lasting gamma rays traveling through the universe originated from hypernova explosions.

What kind of spatial explosion is the advanced form of a supernova?
Hypernova
What is bigger than a supernova?
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.
Is a supernova hot or cold?
It is said that a hypernova can release around 100 times more energy than a supernova. Supernova's will reach temperatures of 100 billion degrees centigrade, and will release more energy in 15 seconds than our sun does in it's entire lifetime!
What can form after the supernova of a red giant?
After the supernova of a red giant, remnants such as a neutron star or a black hole can form, depending on the mass of the original star. If the star was especially massive, it may also result in a supermassive black hole or a hypernova explosion.
How big can hypernova get?
There is no such thing as a "hypernova". Making up words does not make something real.
What kind of spatial explosion is the advanced form of a supernova?
Hypernova
What is an ultra mega supernova?
It's called a hypernova [See related]
What is bigger than a supernova?
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.
What is the hottest natural thing?
Answer: the hottest natural things the KALDERO Answer: I believe that would be a hypernova - a special kind of supernova.
What do red giants become after they run out of fuel?
They explode as a supernova/hypernova to form a planetary nebula/black hole.
Is there a difference between 2012 and 2012 supernova?
2012 is an origanal movie but 2012 supernova is fake
What is more dangerous than a supernova?
A Hypernova - especially if you are next to it. A black whole is dangerous, but only within the event horizon
What is it that kills stars?
iron kills stars in space, first it produces it when its dying, moments later it will make a supernova or hypernova creating a nebula.
What is a hypernova?
A hypernova is an extremely energetic supernova explosion that releases a tremendous amount of energy, outshining even regular supernovae. Hypernovae are thought to occur when supermassive stars undergo core collapse and release an immense amount of energy in the process. They are one of the most powerful astronomical events in the universe.
What are the key differences between a supernova and a hypernova in terms of their explosive power and impact on the surrounding environment?
A supernova is a powerful explosion of a star, while a hypernova is an even more powerful explosion. Hypernovae release more energy and have a greater impact on their surroundings compared to supernovae.
What is the temperature of hypernova?
The temperature of a hypernova explosion can reach several billion degrees Kelvin, making it one of the hottest events in the universe. These extreme temperatures are generated by the immense energy released during the explosion, leading to the production of heavy elements and impacting the surrounding environment.
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.
