Why supernovae are so extreme

Stars stay stable while outward radiation pressure from fusion balances inward gravity. When a massive star runs out of fuel, that balance fails and the core can collapse catastrophically.

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Physics Supernovae, neutron stars and black holes (A-level only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
