sun has the capacity to turn as a super nova . yes or not?

Answer 1

The Sun's current age, determined using computer models of stellar evolution and nucleocosmochronology, is thought to be about 4.57 billion years.[4]

The Sun is about halfway through its main-sequence evolution, during which nuclear fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium. Each second, more than 4 million tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation; at this rate, the sun will have so far converted around 100 earth-masses of matter into energy. The Sun will spend a total of approximately 10 billion years as a main sequence star.

The Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova. Instead, in 4-5 billion years, it will enter a red giant phase, its outer layers expanding as the hydrogen fuel in the core is consumed and the core contracts and heats up. Helium fusion will begin when the core temperature reaches around 100 MK, and will produce carbon and oxygen. While it is likely that the expansion of the outer layers of the Sun will reach the current position of Earth's orbit, recent research suggests that mass lost from the Sun earlier in its red giant phase will cause the Earth's orbit to move further out, preventing it from being engulfed. However, Earth's water will be boiled away and most of its atmosphere will escape into space.


Life-cycle of the SunFollowing the red giant phase, intense thermal pulsations will cause the Sun to throw off its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula. The only object that will remain after the outer layers are ejected is the extremely hot stellar core, which will slowly cool and fade as a white dwarf over many billions of years. This stellar evolution scenario is typical of low- to medium-mass stars.

Answer 2

No, it is simply not large enough.

A star with the capacity to go supernova would need to be more than five times the mass of our sun. Such stars are usually always that large, whereas our sun would have to grow that large, which, of course, can't happen.

Our sun will go nova, though, where it expands, blows off its outer layers, and we're left with a white dwarf star, the remnants of our yellow sun. Such a nova would be just as bad for Earth, but fortunately, such an event is billions of years in the future.

Answer 3

There are several types of supernovae and at least two possible routes to their formation. A massive star may cease to generate energy from the nuclear fusion of atoms in its core, and collapse under the force of its own gravity to form a neutron star or black hole. Alternatively, a white dwarf star may accumulate material from a companion star (either through accretion or a collision) until it nears the Chandrasekhar limit of roughly 1.44 times the mass of the Sun, at which point it undergoes runaway nuclear fusion in its interior, completely disrupting the star. This second type of supernova is distinct from a surface thermonuclear explosion on a white dwarf, which is called a nova. Solitary stars with a mass below approximately 8 solar masses, such as the Sun itself, evolve into white dwarfs without ever becoming supernovae.

So a sun wont become a supernova but it will become a white dwarf.

ANS:no

Answer 4

No! It is not massive enough to become a super nova. Furthermore, etymologically speaking, a super nova is a star that appears for the first time, even at daylight, because it explodes. The sun is already visible, so it is actually "super old"!!!

Answer 5

The Sun appears to have been active for 4.6 billion years and has enough fuel to go on for another five billion years or so. At the end of its life, the Sun will start to fuse helium into heavier elements and begin to swell up, ultimately growing so large that it will swallow the Earth. After a billion years as a red giant, it will suddenly collapse into a white dwarf -- the final end product of a star like ours. It may take a trillion years to cool off completely.

Answer 6

no our sun cannot turn as a supernova because its not a super giant(stars 10 times larger than the sun).As our sun ages it will become bigger and bigger to form a red giant.

During the stage of a red giant it will start using all its energy to fuse helium and hydrogen wich will make it hotter. A time will come when our sun wud hav used all its energy to become a white dwarf and fade away one day.
The dyeing of super giants is similar to that of a red giant but due to their larger mass the explode as supernova or become blackholes

Answer 7

No, our Sun is far too small for a super-nova. Most likely it will expand as it ages, consuming the Earth with its immense corona, and turning red. Eventually it will become a nebula, while it's core will most likely become a white dwarf.

Answer 8

No. For a super nova you need to start with two stars orbiting each other, or a very large star, much larger than the Sun.

Answer 9

Yes the sun has sufficient mass to become a supernova.But that won't happen before 5 billion years.

Answer 10

no
in universe there are infinete sun
so sun is not super nova
