Difference between Stellar evolution and Supernova

Stellar evolution vs. Supernova

Stellar evolution is the process by which a star changes over the course of time. 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.
