Kelvin is not really an energy unit. It's a unit of temperature.

What happens at 100 million degrees kelvin?

You get Nuclear Fusion, which produces an enormous amount of energy. The center of the sun, for example, is near 20 million degrees Kelvin


When the core of a star reaches 10000 K pressure within the star is so great that nuclear fission of hydrogen begins.?

It's fusion, not fission. And you won't get fusion at ten thousand kelvin. You need a much higher temperature - a few million kelvin.


Would nuclear fission at a colder temperature effect the energy produced by the fission?

Probably, I'm no science but everyone knows that at 0 Kelvin Is the temperature at which everything stops moving, Absolute Zero. So I assume a fission at a colder temperature would effect the energy produced but keep in mind that at very cold temperatures the equipment being used may not function correctly. But Don't Take my word for it.


What process do stars use to produce light?

Stars emit light through a process called "nuclear fusion", sometimes called "thermonuclear fusion". This should not be confused with "nuclear fission", the process used in nuclear power plants to produce electricity. In nuclear fission, the radioactive substance decays to a substance of lower atomic number (through bombardment of its nucleas), releasing considerable heat in the process. In nuclear fusion, the nuclei combine to form a substance of higher atomic number, again releasing considerable heat in the process.


What has Thermal or Heat Energy?

Everything ! The only way not to is to be at zero degrees Kelvin ... and nothing is.


How hot does it get at the center of the atomic bomb?

The temperature at the center of an atomic bomb during detonation can reach tens of millions of degrees Celsius. This extreme heat is generated by the nuclear fission or fusion reactions taking place, releasing massive amounts of energy in a fraction of a second.


Why are fusion reactors not yet present day reality like fission reactors?

Only beacuse of starting trouble. Any way we need billion kelvin temperature to start with for which we have to rely on fission reaction. One more important point we cannot have a controlled fusion reaction as we do so in fission ie nuclear reactor using control rods.


Which is the innermost layer of the sun?

The suns core is the innermost portion or the photosphere of the sun. It's the hottest layer and under the highest pressure, enabling nuclear fusion to take place, which produces the energy. The suns core temperature is estimated to be around 13.6 million degrees Kelvin.


The kilopascal is to pressure as the Kelvin scale is to the average energy of what?

They were looking for the word "temperature".


The temperature on the kelvin scale at which an object has a minimum of kinetic energy?

Zero kelvin


Are the most massive stars the hottest?

The most massive star known is R136A1 - a rather disappointing name - has a temperature of about 53,000 degrees kelvin. Our Sun for comparison is a mere 5,778 degrees kelvin.


Explain the relationship between kinetic energy and the kelvin scale?

The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its temperature on the Kelvin scale. The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, where particles have minimal kinetic energy. As the temperature on the Kelvin scale increases, so does the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
