How does a main sequence star power itself?
A main sequence star gets its energy by fusing hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
True or false a main sequence star generates energy by fusing helium into hydrogen?
Oops ! No. The statement is going along pretty good until the end.The star actually fuses hydrogen into helium .
How does the protostar stage of a star's life cycle compare with the main-sequence stage?
A protostar generates energy by friction whereas a main sequence star generates energy by fusion.
How does the protostar stage of a stars life cycle compare with the main sequence stage?
A protostar generates energy by friction whereas a main sequence star generates energy by fusion.
What was the sun when it reached the main sequence?
Stars on the main sequence (like the sun) are fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores.
What types of stars are main sequence stars?
Any star that it fusing hydrogen into helium is classed as a main sequence star.
What does the main sequence star represent?
A main-sequence star is one that is along a curve where the majority of stars are located, when plotted in an H-R diagram. It is a star that gets its energy from fusing hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
Are stars in the main sequence when nuclear fusion of any element is taking place?
No. Stars are only in the main sequence when they are fusing hydrogen.
What is the defeniton of main sequence star?
A star that is mainly fusing hydrogen into helium.
What is the process that generates energy in the core of the main sequence star?
The process is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. All stars at their main sequence converts hydrogen to helium giving large energy by during hydrogen atoms into helium nucliiFusion of hydrogen.
When does a star become a main sequence star?
A star becomes a main sequence star when nuclear fusion begins in its core, fusing hydrogen into helium. This marks the stable phase of a star's life where it generates energy through this process and remains in a state of equilibrium between inward gravitational pressure and outward radiation pressure.
What kind of stars are in a band down the the middle of a Hertsprung-Russell diagram?
That's more or less the description of the so-called "main sequence". Those are the stars that get their energy by fusing hydrogen into helium.
