THEORY 2:  "A supernova exploded near our solar system". A star four times heavier than the Sun suddenly shone 100 times brighter before it went dark again. It turned into a neutron star and a black hole. This process is known as Supernova explosion and it occurs towards the end of a star's life.


THEORY 3:  "The dinosaurs could not survive in cold climate". 

THEORY 4: "The dinosaurs were killed by some poisonous plants- Angiosperms".

THEORY 5: "They ate the eggs of the newly evolved mammals and started a war. The dinosaurs lost this war, as the mammals had more highly evolved brains and bodies".

THEORY 6: "Dinosaurs became extinct because of illness. A new epidemic appeared and was so severe that all the dinosaurs died".
