i just want to know like on average how much stronger usually. thousands or millions? the same?
Gamma ray bursts and supernovas are measured in terms of their energy output. This is typically measured in ergs or joules, and is often compared in terms of their luminosity, or the amount of energy they emit per unit of time.
The energy output of gamma ray bursts can vary greatly, but on average they are estimated to be about 100 times more powerful than supernovas. However, some gamma ray bursts have been observed to be up to 10,000 times more powerful than supernovas.
Gamma ray bursts are believed to be caused by the collapse of a massive star or the merging of two neutron stars. Supernovas, on the other hand, occur when a star reaches the end of its life and explodes, either due to fusion reactions or gravitational collapse.
While gamma ray bursts and supernovas are incredibly powerful and can release immense amounts of energy, they are typically too far away from Earth to have any significant impact. However, if a gamma ray burst or supernova occurred within a certain distance from Earth, it could potentially have harmful effects on our planet.
Currently, scientists do not have the ability to predict when a gamma ray burst or supernova will occur. However, they are constantly studying and monitoring these events in hopes of gaining a better understanding and potentially being able to predict them in the future.
