The enormous heat and pressure at the center of a star causes atoms to fuse together, releasing enormous amounts of energy. Most stars fuse hydrogen, but larger stars that have exhausted the hydrogen in their cores may fuse heavy elements.
All stars 'burn' hydrogen
Hydrogen is the primary fuel that stars burn. A star fuses two hydrogen atoms together to form one helium atom. Energy is released during the process that we see as light and feel as heat.
Yes, stars fuse Hydrogen atoms to make Helium in a natural process.
Stars don't burn in the sense we are use to here on Earth. They do not combine oxygen with a fuel to generate energy. Stars shine brightly because they take atoms (in the case of our Sun - hydrogen atoms) and squeeze them together under tremendous temperatures and pressure from gravity, forcing them to fuse into heavier atoms - helium for our star. There is an extra bit of mass that is converted to energy in this process by Einstein's E=MC2, which generates the heat and light we see and feel.
Yes. But you know that it won't burn enough so the star won't make even a normal damage.
Stars are mostly made up of hydrogen. The stars use the hydrogen atoms to make helium. Please recomend me.
Well Stars use 4 atoms of Hydrogen and 1 atom of Helium fuse together.
All solids consist of atoms except for some stars such as neutron stars.
It takes three helium atoms to create one carbon atom through nuclear fusion in stars.
All stars fuse hydrogen into helium - the slight difference in atomic weight between 4 hydrogen atoms and one helium atom, is given off as radiation.
Stars shine because they are so extremely hot. Which is why fire gives off light. It is a process of turning one chemical make up into another chemical make up. In most stars hydrogen is being converted into a helium. The energy from this gives the star heat. This warms the outside of the surface of the star and the surface gives off heat and light. So you can say that stars are not on fire, even though they look that way, so they are not burning.
The sun and other stars don't burn oxygen, they burn other gases. that's what a star is, a big ball of gas. It burns these gases, which is also what is used to classified the stars into Main Sequence stars, Giants, Dwarfs, etc. The sun and other stars don't burn oxygen, they burn other gases. that's what a star is, a big ball of gas. It burns these gases, which is also what is used to classified the stars into Main Sequence stars, Giants, Dwarfs, etc. from the answer on the top.. the sun does not burn oxygen... is eats up the oxygen and make carbon dioxide.
