yes nuclear fusion does occur on the sun, creating intense heat and light
Fusion reactions
They are fusion reactions, and The force to get the reactions to occur comes from gravity.
core and radiation
The main gas found in the Sun is hydrogen, which fuels nuclear fusion reactions at its core. Helium is also present in the Sun as a byproduct of these fusion reactions.
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
No, the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions
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.
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.
Because it is the joining together (fusing) of hydrogen nuclei to form helium
The energy output of the Sun derives from nuclear fusion reactions. A yellow dwarf is not a process, it's a type of star, of which the Sun is one.
Neclear Fusion because stars are powered by that, even our 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.
