Difference between Giant star and Supernova

Giant star vs. Supernova

A giant star is a star with substantially larger radius and luminosity than a main-sequence (or dwarf) star of the same surface temperature. A supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas, abbreviations: SN and SNe) is a transient astronomical event that occurs during the last stellar evolutionary stages of a star's life, either a massive star or a white dwarf, whose destruction is marked by one final, titanic explosion.

Similarities between Giant star and Supernova

Giant star and Supernova have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Carbon, Convection, Helium, Hydrogen, Hypergiant, Luminosity, Main sequence, Metallicity, Nuclear fusion, Oxygen, Red giant, Solar mass, Supergiant star, White dwarf.

Carbon

Carbon (from carbo "coal") is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6.

Hypergiant

A hypergiant (luminosity class 0 or Ia+) is among the very rare kinds of stars that typically show tremendous luminosities and very high rates of mass loss by stellar winds.

Luminosity

In astronomy, luminosity is the total amount of energy emitted per unit of time by a star, galaxy, or other astronomical object.

Main sequence

In astronomy, the main sequence is a continuous and distinctive band of stars that appear on plots of stellar color versus brightness.

Metallicity

In astronomy, metallicity is used to describe the abundance of elements present in an object that are heavier than hydrogen or helium.

Nuclear fusion

In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come close enough to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).

Oxygen

Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8.

Red giant

A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass (roughly 0.3–8 solar masses) in a late phase of stellar evolution.
