How do stars produce large atoms?
Nuclear fusion. Stars like the sun are basically hydrogen bombs at their core. Hydrogen bombs are fusion bombs, building heavier elements up from hydrogen in their high pressure and temperature cores. All the chemical elements in your body apart from hydrogen were built up in stars that exploded long, long ago,
Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?
In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.
What can the amount of energy released during a solar flare be equal to?
1 million exploding nuclear bombs
Where does fusion happen in the universe?
Do you know what nuclear fusion is?It is the process when two nuclei combine to create a bigger and denser nucleus.Where does it occur?It occurs in the universe and in labs. The process of fussion can be found in stars. That is why when you look up to stars in the night, they are bright. They use fusion to convert matter into light.Also...It also happens in "labs", where scientists make fusion occur in hydrogen bombs. Scientists are finding a way to make hydrogen bombs to be controlled while using fusion, because not all things that are radioactive are able to be controlled. They also believe that powerful energy will be released from the bomb "but" with very little pollution, not like other bombs that polluted the environment where they were tested at.
How much energy does a nova release?
Not to be confused with a supernova - [See related]In a few hundred days a nova pumps out as much energy as the sun does for more than a million years.The Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima exploded with an energy of about 15 kilotons of TNT (~6 × 1013 joules)During the Cold War, the United States developed hydrogen bombs with a maximum theoretical yield of 25 megatons (~1015 Joules)A nova releases as much energy as the Sun emits in a million years or 1034 jouleswhich is about ten quintillion megatons of TNT (~1018 joules)So you'd need about 17,000 of the most powerful hydrogen bombs to equal a nova.
Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear?
Nuclear fusion.
What do Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear?
The term is nuclear fusion, where light elements (usually hydrogen) fuse to form heavier elements.
What do hydrogen bombs ands stars both produce nuclear with?
The process of fusion, where hydrogen is fused into heavier elements, releasing energy in the process.
What kind of nuclear energy is produced by hydrogen bombs and stars?
This is produced by nuclear fusion
What is the Difference in radiation - atomic vs hydrogen bombs?
The same nuclear radiation is released by both fission (atomic) and fusion (hydrogen) bombs. Hydrogen bombs are larger, and produce more.
Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?
Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
Is an atom bomb the same as an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.
What type of nuclear energy do hydrogen bombs produce?
Fusion. However in standard fusion bombs about 90% of the yield comes from fission of Uranium-238 in the fusion tamper and radiation channel guide from fast 15MeV fusion neutrons.
Hydrogen bombs use the same nuclear process that powers the?
Hydrogen bombs use the same process of nuclear fusionthat powers the Sun.
Do H-bombs deal with fission?
To some degree. Hydrogen bombs release energy via nuclear fusion, but they use a fission reaction to trigger the fusion.
Is a hydrogen bomb the same as a nuclear bomb?
Hydrogen bombs, or thermonuclear explosives, are one form of nuclear weapon, gaining a tremendous increase in explosive power from the fusion of atoms. This is the opposite of the fission reaction, which generates energy by splitting a larger atom into smaller ones. But the fusion bombs currently used require a fission trigger, which means they still produce radioactive fallout, just less for the equivalent energy yield.
