1 theory said that the solar system was made by an explosion by a star. Who made that star that exploded?
Question:
Answer:
The only sense in which this is correct is that the solar system (the sun and planets) was made from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust. It is possible that the collapse was started by a nearby star going supernova. Nobody made this star explode: large stars do so at the end of their life cycle. We see this type of thing happening right now in various nebula across the galaxy.
Now, it is possible that you are confusing the birth of the solar system with that of the universe as a whole. This is a serious confusion: our sun is one of hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy alone. We know of hundreds of billions of galaxies, each of which has tens to thousands of billions of stars. The universe as a whole was not caused by the explosion of a star. The Big Bang was not an explosion of something pre-existing and not even an explosion in the usual sense. Space itself expands. It is not simply things moving through space.
God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. According to Genesis in the Bible.
Who?
I think 'who' might not be the appropriate approach.
A more objective perspective would beg 'what process, and how?'
Stars explode by themselves as they reach the end of their normal lifetimes.
The core collapses, and the "atmosphere" is blown away by the explosive force.
I vote for God, too. Even though He doesn't need my vote, I give it willingly.
The theory that the solar system was made by the explosion of a star is no longer accepted. But whatever there is in the universe and beyond was made by God.
No one made that star explode. Stars explode (become novae or supernovae) because they have spent all of their hydrogen fuel. After fusing lighter elements into heavier ones, such as carbon, oxygen and magnesium, the star begins to produce iron. When iron appears in its core, the star is moments away from exploding. Stars exist for billions of years because of a balancing act between gravity pushing inward and plasma pressure pushing outward. The presence of iron shuts down the fusion process and the outward pressure diminishes. The star implodes under its own gravity and then seconds later, explodes, becoming a nova or supernova. The Chandrasekhar Limit, named after the Indian scientist who discovered it, determines whether a star will become a nova or supernova. Any star below twice the sun's mass will simply shed off its outer shell and go quietly as a nova. Stars with a mass above two solar masses will meet a more violent end as a supernova.
This process is easily predicted by scientific theory and there are no exceptions to the Chandrasekhar Limit.

The Stars are large fusion reactors that turn Hydrogen into Helium under immense temperature and pressure. The weight of the hydrogen pushes down on itself and creates gravity that holds the star together. As the hydrogen is consumed, the helium expands and the star starts to grow, turning into a Red Giant...until it reaches critical mass...at that point, it collapses on itself and explodes, creating a Supernova, or ejects its matter through solar wind until a tiny core remains. Usually, depending on the mass of the star, it can turn into a White Dwarf surrounded by a cloud called a nebula (that might give birth to a star if there is enough matter in one place), if it was initially larger, it can create a Supernova, giving birth to a Neutron Star, and if it was gigantic during its life, it will explode and collapse again into a Black Hole, the most interesting object in the Universe...sadly you can't see those cause they suck in all the matter and light around them...
Since you ask your question under science (rather than religion) you deserve a scientific answer here. It is believed that the original stars of the universe (a long time after the Big Bang) were composed of only hydrogen and helium. As the stars burned up their fuel by fission, heavier elements were formed such as more helium plus carbon and oxygen, etc. As most fission fuel was used up, the giant stars imploded, causing extreme heat and pressure at the center which fused existing atoms into the heaviest stable elements possible (lead, uranium, etc.) then exploded in a supernova. Because our solar system contains these heavy metals, it is believed that it originated from the products of a supernova.
When you understand cosmology a bit better than you do at this time, which by your question, I can tell is not at all, ask again. Stars 'make' themselves, with a little help from gravity, as do solar systems. No 'who' is involved, only 'what's. The process is automatic and inevitable.
There is this wild theory going around in the religious section that a supernatural being created the earth and the stars in six days!?!?! Must have been really tiring because he rested on the seventh. But in reality and what has been proven, the solar system was created in a nebula. All the conditions came together and all the ingredients were there and in a few billion years, a baby solar system was born. I have heard that a nearby star exploded and the resulting shockwave triggered the creation of the solar system, but there is no scientific proof of this. In any event, stars exploded (or implode) when they have used up all their fuel and all that is left is an iron core (which cannot be used for fuel). Although this core will glow white hot for a long time, don't count on bringing your marshmellows because it will still be too hot.
You're just baiting people; like somebody here is going to give you a definitive answer. What's next; Why is the sky blue? (Wait, that one's too easy) or when did time begin or where's the end of the universe? Try another category like Religion & Spirituality, I'm sure that they'll give you the answer you're looking for, or maybe try Jokes & riddles. Or just ask your mom.
That's the most absurd theory I've ever heard - who said that?
Our Sun is a second generation star made up of "star dust" from stars that have burned out in a spectacular explosion. Nobody made the stars explode or become new stars or first stars.
usaitaliano70 -- why the sky is blue is a very relevant question.
Ha ha, some Muslim extremist...I like that one.
WHO made the star? WHO did?
Like you are looking for a divine creator, maybe? Maybe you don't accept the scientific explanations for Gods handywork?
The Sun and accompanying solar system are estimated to be third generation material. That is, the heavier elements available to make up parts of our local system are believed to have come from not one, but two previous stellar explosions. Enough hydrogen was locally available to start the birth of our present Sun.
I believe you're probably a bible thumper trying to force scientifically minded individuals to explain their positions with a completely juvenile, nonsensical and ill-conceived question that completely shows just how much you didn't pay attention in school... the answer you're probably looking for is "god did"... so there you go... you have your answer... go back to the religion category...
