Supernova

 A few million years for the star to die, less than a quarter of a second for its core to collapse, a few hours for the shock wave to reach the surface of the star, a few months to brighten, and then just few years to fade away

Hello in class today we have been learning about what is a supernova is today, I worked with Shanaya for

this task and she has taught me a lot about all the different elements. I hope we carry on with this task because i really enjoy this.

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?

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,
