No. The moon does not produce any light of its own. It only reflects light from the sun. It does not have enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion, nor is it of the right composition. Finally, nuclear fusion and combustion are two completely different processes.

How do hydrogen bombs and stars both produce nuclear energy?

Stars like our sun and hydrogen bombs produce energy through nuclear fusion.


What is the difference between a human lifes cycle to a stars life?

There are fundamental differences and similarities between a solar versus human life cycle. As in humans, stars are born and they will die. Stars produce energy. Both humans and suns produce energy, but by different means. Humans produce our energy through chemical respiration, a combustion reaction. Stars however use nuclear fusion. Another chief difference is that human life can be measured at most in decades or a century while stars can live for billions of years, and even longer after their "deaths" in their new forms as dwarfs and black holes.


Why can't a massive star generate energy through iron fusion?

Iron is on the lowest energy level (for nuclear energy), or near it. Converting other elements to iron or nickel will produce energy; the other way round it costs energy.Iron is on the lowest energy level (for nuclear energy), or near it.

Are stars holes in the sky?

No. Stars are massive balls of hydrogen and helium that produce heat and light through nuclear fusion. Our sun is a star, only appearing bigger and brighter because it is much closer to us.


What is the longest stage in the life cycle of a star?

The main sequence, where the star combines hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms and produce energy, through the process of nuclear fusion. And it also the beginning of a new planet called farshinia

When the internal combustion located?

well...because of the poor grammar i will answer it in two parts. 1. Internal combustion is the process an engine goes through in order to make power...intake compression combustion and exhaust. 2.Internal Combustion takes place in the engine block


Is a steam engine an example of an internal combustion engine?

No, the steam engine is an external combustion engine because the steam is heated by heat generated by combustion outside externally through heat transfer. A spark ignition engine is an example of an internal combustion engine.

Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?

In an Internal Combustion Engine, the fuel is burned in the cylinder or vessel. Eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder, like 99.9% of engines today.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burned. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. Eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains. An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating process is done in an boiler out side the engine.

What is the difference between internal combustion engine and external combustion engine?

In an Internal Combustion Engine, the Fuel is burnt in the cylinder or vessel eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Gasoline engines, Wankel engines, diesels, gas turbines are all examples of internal combustion.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burnt. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains.
