Hi all
Can anyone help me how to distingush among them?
Thank you.

There are two main types of supernovae: Type I and Type II. Type I supernovae are further divided into Type Ia, Ib, and Ic, while Type II supernovae are classified as Type II-P and Type II-L.
Type I supernovae are characterized by the absence of hydrogen in their spectra, while Type II supernovae have prominent hydrogen lines. Additionally, Type I supernovae have a more consistent and predictable luminosity, while Type II supernovae can vary in brightness.
Type Ia supernovae are caused by the explosion of a white dwarf star, while Type Ib, Ic, and II supernovae are the result of the collapse of massive stars. Type II-P supernovae occur in stars with a relatively low mass, while Type II-L supernovae occur in stars with a higher mass.
Supernovae can be observed through telescopes and their spectra can be analyzed to determine their type. Scientists also use computer simulations and models to study the physics behind supernova explosions.
Supernovae occur at very large distances from Earth, so they do not pose any direct danger to our planet. However, the energy released from a supernova explosion can have a significant impact on the surrounding environment and can potentially affect Earth's climate and ecosystems.
