To distinguish between properties of the two major types of supernovae: massive star supernovae and white dwarf supernovae. all supernovae represent the explosions of stars, but current understanding suggests there are two basic types of supernovae: one that occurs when a massive star reaches the end of its life, and the other that occurs when a white dwarf star explodes because its mass has exceeded the white dwarf limit (also called the chandrasekhar limit) of 1.4 solar masses.

    In my opinion, I myself believe that there are only two supernovae. The first is the white dwarf. It makes sense because if something is too big for its size, it will "explode". Just like a basketball with too much air. Massive star supernovae is like something has reached it's full potential and cannot get any bigger or better.
