Hello in class today we looked at a supernova. we had questions to answer about the supernova which had known a little about. I have done research on a supernova before and I thought this was fun an easy. I worked with Stella to do this an we worked on a doc to get the information.
What is a supernova? A supernova is the explosion of a star. It is the largest explosion that takes place in space. A supernova is a star with a powerful and luminous stellar explosion. One type of supernova is caused by the last hurrah of a dying massive star. This happens when a star at least five times of the mass of our sun goes out with a fantastic bang!
What elements does a supernova consist of? HE- Helium C- carbon - H hydrogen O- oxygen
AU - gold - Fe - iron Si - silicon
What happens to all elements/ materials in a supernova? After Years and decades the sun starts to burn the core of the supernova until it explodes. The He and H will make the boom and the iron and Au
Supernova / star releases a very large amount of energy as well as neutrons, which allows elements heavier than iron such as Au/ gold and U/uranium to be produced.
Why is there a supernova? No reason
How long does a supernova take to generate?
A few million years for the star to die, less than a quarter of a second for its core to collapse,a few months to brighten, and then just years to fade away.
