Nuclear fusion. Stars like the sun are basically hydrogen bombs at their core. Hydrogen bombs are fusion bombs, building heavier elements up from hydrogen in their high pressure and temperature cores. All the chemical elements in your body apart from hydrogen were built up in stars that exploded long, long ago,
What else can I help you with?
How do stars produce larger atoms?
they have a big gland in the middle and it makes more atom
What do stars produce through fusion?
Stars produce energy through nuclear fusion, which involves the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which is what makes stars so luminous.
Why are the hydrogen Balmer lines strong in the spectra of medium temperature stars and weak in the spectra of hot and cool stars?
Balmer lines are produced by colliding hydrogen atoms with electrons excited to 2nd energy level. Cool stars don't have enough collision to excite the electrons, hot stars have too much collision and excite the electrons beyond 2nd energy level.
What is the main source of the energy in the sun and other stars?
The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
Are stars nuclear powered?
Yes, stars are nuclear powered. They generate energy through the process of nuclear fusion in their cores, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing massive amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This process is what enables stars to shine and produce heat.
The combination of the center of atoms to produce a heavier element is called what?
The combination of the center of atoms to produce a heavier element is called nuclear fusion.
Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into?
Helium atoms
How do stars produce larger atoms?
they have a big gland in the middle and it makes more atom
How does a star work to produce light and energy?
Stars produce light and energy through a process called nuclear fusion. In the core of a star, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy is what makes stars shine brightly in the sky.
What is combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy called?
That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.
What is different about a star from a planet?
Stars are bigger than planets until they finally collapse into dwarf stars. Stars are large enough to produce nuclear energy in their core, so they produce high amounts of heat and light.
Particles or waves given off by atoms undergoing nuclear decay produce?
Produce a large amount of heat and energy which is utilized for many purposes
Are stars nuclear energy?
Stars produce nuclear energy by fusion Stars form when contracting dust in a planetary nebula contract and get so hot that nuclear fusion occurs. It explodes, forming a porotostar. Nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms combining to form helium atoms is what keeps the star glowing.
Hydrogen atoms fuse and become what?
Hydrogen atoms fuse to become helium atoms during the process of nuclear fusion in stars. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the source of the sun's energy.
Does fusion have two Hydrogen Atoms Fuse To Make A Helium Atom?
Yes, in the process of nuclear fusion, two hydrogen atoms (specifically isotopes deuterium and tritium) combine to form a helium atom. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind how the sun and other stars produce energy.
What atoms powers the sun and other stars?
The core of the sun and other stars primarily consist of hydrogen atoms undergoing nuclear fusion to form helium atoms. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which powers the sun and allows it to shine.
Does solid have atoms?
All solids consist of atoms except for some stars such as neutron stars.
