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,

How do stars produce larger atoms?
they have a big gland in the middle and it makes more atom
What characteristics are used to describe stars?
atoms
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.
What do high mass stars and low mass stars have in common?
They produce light.
Does nebulae produce more than one star?
Yes, they produce lots of stars. A nebula is often described as being a nursery of stars.
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
What atoms powers the sun and other stars?
The fusion of atoms powers the sun and other stars
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.
What makes gold metal?
Stars may only produce atoms as heavy as iron. To make gold, a supernova must happen.
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.
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
Does solid have atoms?
All solids consist of atoms except for some stars such as neutron stars.
Are anymore atoms being made?
Yes: Relatively small numbers of them in a few laboratories on Earth and very large numbers of them in stars.
What energy does the sun and stars produce?
the energy sun and stars produce is fusion.
How does the sun get produce its energy?
The sun and other stars are hot enough and dense enough at their cores for nuclear fusion to occur. Hydrogen atoms fuse together into helium atoms, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.
What is produced when hydrogen atoms fuse?
A large amount of energy. This naturally occurring reaction happens inside all stars and is called fusion.
