During the nuclear fusion process hydrogen fuses to create helium and a large amount of energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation reaches a planet, like earth and is absorbed. But dont worry, electromagnetic radiation includes visible light, UV, IR, and other stuff too. Most of the bad stuff is blocked by the atmosphere and only the warming rays and light are allowed to enter.
What else can I help you with?
What is different between a star and a planet?
A Star converts hydrogen into energy by nuclear fusion. A planet does not
Is the moon a source of solar energy?
No, it is not source of any energy as it is a planet not a star.
What causes a planet to become a star?
A planet cannot become a star. A star is an object that is massive enough to release energy via nuclear fusion. A planet is much less massive.
Why is the sun not a planet?
The sun is not considered a planet because it is a star, not a celestial body that orbits a star like a planet does. Stars generate energy through nuclear fusion in their cores, while planets do not generate energy through fusion.
Is the sun is a planet?
No, the sun is not a planet. It is a star, specifically a medium-sized main sequence star that generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core. Planets orbit stars, including our sun.
Is the sun a gas giant or an rocky planet?
no its a star if it was a gas giant it would be a planet
Can a planet shine by its own?
An object requires a source of energy to shine. The Earth does not. Pictures of the Earth are always taken with the reflection of the Suns energy - similar to how you see the Moon.
Can a star be a planet?
No, a star and a planet are two distinct celestial bodies. Stars are massive spheres of gas that produce light and heat through nuclear fusion, while planets are smaller bodies that orbit around stars. Stars generate their own energy, while planets reflect the light of their parent star.
Why isn't Pluto a star?
A star is a celestial body of hot gases that radiates energy from thermonuclear reactions in its interior. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, a planet being a large celestial body that orbits a star and does not radiate any large amounts of nuclear energy. The star Pluto orbits in the Solar System is our Sun.
Is there enough energy produced by solar power to supply peoples household needs?
Yes there is plenty of solar energy for every house on the planet.
What planet is also a yellow star?
No planet is a star.
Which star is nearest to planet Earth?
I'll have to say that Earth's nearest star is the Sun............... I know for sure that mercury's closest star is the Sun ( The Sun is a Star) Yes the nearest star is the sun
