No. Stars that have depleted the hydrogen in their cores may start fusing heavier elements.
Stars are said to be off the main sequence when they stop fusing hydrogen into helium.
The pressure of the fusing gasses
90% of all stars are at mid-life where their cores are fusing hydrogen into helium.
Nuclear fusion, usually by fusing hydrogen-1 to helium-4.
No. Stars that have depleted the hydrogen in their cores may start fusing heavier elements.
Helium atoms
Stars are said to be off the main sequence when they stop fusing hydrogen into helium.
Any star that it fusing hydrogen into helium is classed as a main sequence star.
technically speaking, stars are first made of Hydrogen. The moment the star comes to life, it starts fusing together Hydrogen atoms, forming helium. when a star is nearing the end of its life, it starts fusing together helium and keeps on fusing until there is nothing more to fuse. then, the star dies.
No. A star is born when hydrogen stars fusing.
The pressure of the fusing gasses
The products of hydrogen fusion are helium and energy.
Balls of incandescent (fusing) hydrogen gas that was brought together by gravity.
No. Stars are only in the main sequence when they are fusing hydrogen.
The main sequence stars are stars that fuse hydrogen, so the stars that have left the main sequence are the ones that have basically run out of hydrogen. They are the Red Giant stars, Supergiant stars and White Dwarf stars.
No. The hydrogen in the universe was formed during the Big Bang. Stars consume hydrogen, fusing it into helium.
