What occurs when Hydrogen is turned into helium?

The result of this separation will be pure hydrogen and pure helium.


Which elements are involved during the process of fusion in the sun?

Hydrogen is turned into helium in the fusion process that releases the Sun's energy.


How hot is the sun?

The Sun is hot because in its core it is turning Hydrogen into Helium by a process called nuclear fusion. The helium is slightly less heavy then the bits of hydrogen used to make it and this difference in mass is turned into energy (light). This energy keeps the Sun hot and makes it shine.


What element is used in nuclear fusion?

Hydrogen is turned into helium in stars.


How did our solar sytem form?

Scientists think that the universe was created by the big bang, and that energy came out of energy pockets and turned into mass ( E=MC2 ). The universe then started expanding, and heavier elements in the periodic table started to form (at first there was only Helium and Hydrogen).


Materials of low mass fused together?

This is fusion not fission. In stars like our sun, hydrogen is turned into helium


What is released when hydrogen nuclei fuse into helium nuclei?

Because in the sun, nuclear fusion (or thermonuclear reaction) is happening, means an atom core is joined with other's atom core, making it a bigger atom and more unstable. In the sun and other stars, one hydrogen atom is joined itself with the other hydrogen atom and reacting, releasing particles, positron, neutrino and energy. The result is 2H. Then it joined itself with another 1H atom. Then the fusion reaction happens. It's repeating until the third reaction, where 3He is joining with other 3He, releasing two 1H and a 4He. In short, one Hydrogen atom join another one Hydrogen Atom and result two hydrogen atoms, Neutrino, and Positron (1H + 1H = 2H, Positron, Neutrino). This process is repeating twice (although the second time, 2H is joining 1H = 2H + 1H = 3He). Then, the Third time, where the Hydrogen atoms become Helium atoms, they join together and releasing two 1 H and 4He atoms (3He + 3He = 2x 1H, 4He). ( The fusion also the one who detonate the Hydrogen Bomb). Source: Wikipedia (see related links)


The process in which the sun produces energy is known as what?

Nuclear fusion, hydrogen burns and the energy gets turned into mass


How do you describe how stars release energy?

Through nuclear fusion, where smaller atoms are fused together to make larger atoms under extreme pressures and temperatures. Usually hydrogen nuclei are being fused together to make helium nuclei. The total mass of the components is more than the final helium nuclei, the excess mass is turned into energy (E=MC^2). Massive amounts of energy are released through this process.


Why does most of your energy come from the sun?

Nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in the core of the Sun provides the energy that allows the Sun to shine, and to hold itself up against the crushing force of its internal gravity. Basically its like a giant ongoing nuclear reaction. Nuclear fusion is the term to describe lighter nuclei joining (or fusing) together to form heavier nuclei. As the heavier nuclei form, energy is released in the form of heat, light and gamma radiation.


Can solar energy be turned into electricity?

yes solar energy can be turned or converted to electricity by grid connectivity. where in you can produce energy and also can sell like how it happens in most places in Europe and in the US.


Can helium be turned in to ice?

no it cant
