Supernovae are powerful cosmic events that release as much energy in a few weeks as the sun does over billions of years. They are crucial for the creation of heavy elements in the universe.

How does the energy emitted by supernovae in a few weeks compare to the sun's energy output?

• It is the same as the sun's energy in a few weeks.

• It is more than the sun's energy over billions of years.

• It is equal to the sun's energy over billions of years.

• It is less than the sun's energy over billions of years.

What is the primary source of all heavy elements in the universe?

• The sun

• Supernovae

• Black holes

• The Big Bang
