Can the moon produce light through internal nuclear combustion?
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.
Do stars combust?
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
Does sun do combustion?
No. The sun does not carry out combustion. It is powered by nuclear fusion, which produces much more energy.
Does combustion fuel the sun?
no combustion dose not fuel the sun but the sun is fueled by a nuclear reaction known as fusion.
Does the sun have oxygen to support combustion?
No. The sun is about 1% oxygen but it does not carry out combustion. It is instead powered by nuclear fusion.
What is the chemical combustion of the sun?
The vast majority of the energy output of the Sun is not produced by chemical combustion at all, but rather by nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium.
What gas giant has nuclear fusion on it?
None. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. Jupiter, for example, has all the right ingredients to be a star but as huge as it is, it doesn't have enough mass to generate the heat and internal pressure facilitate nuclear fusion. Hope this helps :-)
Does the sun release smoke?
No. Smoke is a mixture of products of combustion, which is a chemical reaction. The "burning" that takes place in the sun is not combustion; it is nuclear fusion, which is a completely different process.
A reaction in combining smaller atomic nuclei is?
nuclear fusion
Without oxygen and an atmosphere how do stars burn?
The "burning" inside a star is not fire as we are familiar with it, which is called combustion. Stars are powered by nuclear fusion. Combustion is a chemical process by which oxygen combines with other substances to make new molecules. In nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms fuse with each other to form helium. This process produces millions of times more energy than combustion does.
What Processes depend on fusion Check all that apply. A.energy production in the sun B.energy production in nuclear reactors C.the hydrogen bomb D.energy production from fuel cells?
It's A and C. The sun and most other stars are fusion reaction engines, and hydrogen bomb (perhaps more properly a fusion nuclear weapon) apply nuclear fusion to do what they do.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
