Does magnetism produce energy in the sun?

No, the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions


Can an infrared telescope designed to observe fusion reactions in the Sun's core?

No, an infrared telescope is not suitable for observing fusion reactions in the Sun's core because the core of the Sun primarily emits neutrinos and gamma rays as a result of fusion reactions, not infrared radiation. To study fusion reactions in the Sun's core, scientists typically use neutrino detectors and other instruments designed to detect high-energy particles and radiation.


Why does the sun go on shinning?

The sun shines because of nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core. These reactions release energy in the form of light and heat, which illuminates our solar system. The sun will continue to shine as long as it has fuel to sustain these fusion reactions.


Why are nuclear reactions in the sun called fusion reactions?

Because it is the joining together (fusing) of hydrogen nuclei to form helium

How does life on earth benefit from the fusion reactions occurring in the sun?

Life on Earth benefits from the fusion reactions occurring in the sun by providing the energy that sustains all living organisms through photosynthesis. The sun's fusion reactions also help regulate Earth's climate by providing warmth and driving weather patterns that are essential for maintaining a habitable environment.
