Can a planet explode - Copilot's answer

The short answer is that yes, it is possible for a planet to explode, but it depends on the circumstances and the energy source causing the explosion. Some ways a planet could explode are: By the impact of a large asteroid or comet, which could tear off part of the planet's atmosphere and surface, or even fragment it completely if the collision was direct and strong enough. By a gamma-ray burst (GRB), which is the most powerful type of explosion known in the universe. These explosions emit as much energy as the sun does over its entire lifetime in a few seconds or minutes. If one of the jets of radiation from a GRB were to be aimed at a planet, it would burn the planet and could cause it to explode. By an internal exothermic process, such as a nuclear fission or fusion reaction, releasing a large amount of energy into the planet's core or mantle. This could cause a rupture of the crust and a violent release of pressure and matter. However, these possibilities are very unlikely
